Psalms 77:11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples. You with your arm redeemed your people,
I will remember Your wonders, I will ponder all Your work, and I will meditate on Your mighty deeds, more than indicate that when we are in a seemingly dry spiritual or physical state if we would but turn our minds to dwell on God and who He is and what He has done we would find an abundance of hope. (Mcalaren) wrote; “Memory supplies the colors with which Hope paints her truest pictures.” (Spurgeon) wrote; “Memory is a fit handmaid for faith.” Remembering God’s power is unhindered and unlimited we can have hope and faith in times of trouble, confusion, fear, worry, and anxiousness. We are encouraged when we remember and meditate on the greatness of God. When we turn our minds away from that which troubles us and turn them to dwell on God’s unhindered and unlimited power, and we remember all that He has done, that which troubles us and darkens the light of hope in our hearts becomes lost in the glorious light of His power, might, grace, love, mercy, and strength. It is hard for us to turn our minds away from the physical and emotional worries that seem to at-will punch us in the gut. Yet, when we take these thoughts captive (when we recognize them) and set them aside and begin to take full focus on God, who He is, what He has done, what He is limitless to do, our hearts and minds find peace, joy, and hope.
