Deuteronomy 32:7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.

We really do need to remember what God has done for us; not just us as in me, but us as in the whole human race!

We can think of all the wonderful things that He has created for us and how we would not be able to survive without His creation. What a God!

We can think of all the ways in which He has picked certain people throughout history to bring forward His Word faithfully. What a God!

We can think of all the ways in which He blesses us, His children. What a God!

Our God!

Psalm 105:5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

When we being to wonder at what God can do for us we just need to go back and read our bibles… We have a full historical record of so many things that God has done for us.

All that is written is certainly not all that He did because there is just not enough space to write down everything that He has done – but all the records that we do have written have been written so that we can remember them.

Remembering these facts should encourage us to rely on Him more and to trust in everything that He has said and will still do. Never sell Him short!

Psalm 105:4 Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

When we speak of someone as being strong we often limit it to physical strength or emotional strength but God’s strength is without limit in all things making it a bit alien to our normal thinking.

We must never think of God as being limited in any manner because that is lowering Him from the position of being our God. In the time of King David the Ark was a symbol of that awesome power for the people to follow.

The Psalmist now encourages people not just to seek the power through the physical but also to seek a personal relationship with God to live with His power!

Psalm 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

God is both gracious and merciful; He will forgive any sin that is brought to Him in all honesty and faith. God’s love and mercy cannot be “out sinned” other than by unbelief itself.

We sometimes think that God may forsake us when we sin and walk away from Him but as soon as we turn around and face Him we find Him waiting patiently and lovingly for us!

As long as we are willing to seek Him with our hearts and not just in word, then we will always find Him because He is the one waiting for us to turn around so that He can wrap His arms around us once more.
