What does the Bible say about remember?
Do you ever pause to think about God in your situation? It’s so easy for us, His own people, to let Him slip from our minds. He carves out paths for us over and over, and we’ll lift our hands in praise, but then a storm rolls in, and suddenly it’s like we’ve erased every memory of His goodness. We lose sight of His steady faithfulness, how He’s always been right there. Don’t let yourself forget who God is or the ways He’s moved in your life.
When doubt creeps in, whispering that it’s all just chance, stand firm and declare the truth of His unwavering love. He’s never abandoned you, not once. If you’re finding it hard to recall His works, start praising Him right there in the struggle. Better yet, before the next trial hits, lift your voice and jot down the times He’s come through, keep a record to glance back at.
Praise shifts our perspective, chasing off that gloomy mindset and anchoring us in the certainty that God will shine through any darkness. It fuels us to proclaim, no matter what’s crashing around us, Jesus Christ is King. Why not begin now? Set your heart to remember Him every day. So, tell me—do you remember? These verses are to remind you to remember God and His Word, but it’s also about God remembering His people.
