Experiencing Jesus Together Through LentSample

Day 9:

Scripture:

“Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth.” 1 Chronicles 16:12

A Call To: Reflect

Do you know someone who has an incredible memory? This may even be you! My brother is 60 years old and he can give me details about people and places from when we were young kids. I’m not like him; I can’t even remember what happened yesterday! I want to remember the details of the past, but I can’t. 

I started a new tradition this last Thanksgiving. I put a quart size mason jar, small notepad, and pen on our front entry table. My husband and I will write what we’re thankful for on the small notepad papers, put them in a jar and next Thanksgiving we’ll read them. We’ll think back throughout the year and remember the good times and what we were thankful for at that moment. 

I Chronicles 16:12 tells us to “remember His wonderful deeds which He has done.” One way I’ve done this is by journaling. I write down those good things God has done in my life in a journal. At any moment, when times are good or when times are bad, I can look back at my journal and be encouraged by God’s faithfulness and love for me. 

Reflection:

During this Lent season, take a moment to pause and think about the good things God has done in your life.

Praise + Prayer:
Lord,
I thank You that I don’t have to rely on my own memory for all that You have done and for the promises You have made for me. I thank You for the Bible that I can read through the pages and be reminded of Your faithfulness and love. I want to become a good steward of keeping record of the answered prayers and miracles in my own life so I can leave a legacy for my family. I need Your help so that I can be disciplined to write them down. I ask for Your spirit of wisdom, knowledge and revelation to remain with me. Amen.
