Memory Loss
Yenny Kartika Official Writer
1621Psalm 118:1
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He
is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm98[/bible]; [bible]iichr36:9-10[/bible]; [bible]ezeki1[/bible]
Sometimes when we face times of
trouble, we may get spiritual amnesia and forget the grace of God. But a good
way of reestablishing a thankful heart is to set aside undistracted time and
deliberately remember God’s past provisions for us and give thanks.
When the children of Israel found
themselves in a barren, hot desert, they developed memory loss about the grace
of God. They began to wish they were back in Egypt, enjoying all its foods (Ex.
16:2-3) and later complained about their water supply (17:2). They had
forgotten the mighty acts of God in their deliverance and how He had showered
them with wealth (12:36). They were dwelling on their current circumstances and
forgetting God’s gracious past provision.
The psalmist challenges us: “Oh, give
thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever” (Ps. 118:1).
The word mercy means “steadfast love.” It refers to God’s faithfulness. He has
promised to be present always to care for His children.
By remembering specific ways God has
provided for us in the past, we can change our perspective for the better.
God’s steadfast love endures forever!
Remembering God’s provision for yesterday gives hope and strength for
today.
Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
