Psalm 77:11–14 NLT
But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works. O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you? You are the God of great wonders, and you demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.
Life isn’t always going to look like you want it to look.
There are going to be times when it feels like God has turned His face from you. That doesn’t mean He has. It means life can get hard, and what you see can try to convince you that God is no longer there.
Asaph started Psalm 77 asking, Has the Lord rejected me forever? Is His unfailing love gone forever? Have His promises permanently failed?
But then everything shifts.
But then I recall all You have done.
When things look dark, remember what God has already done.
I know what You’ve brought me from. I know You’re still good. I know Your hand is still on it.
We all have hardships. We all have things that we go through. But even when these things go on, He is right there with you.
Yes, I am hurt, but God. Yes, things look darker than they’ve ever looked, but God.
Here’s a challenge for you today:
Think back over your life and remember what God has already brought you through. Write down one or two things He has done, and when your circumstances try to speak louder than His faithfulness, go back and remember His works.
