Psalm 105:5-15

How is your memory these days? You know it seems like the older we get, the more trouble we have with memory. Well, what about your spiritual memory? Are you remembering what God wants you to remember and are you grateful for what God remembers? This is what the psalmist talks about in Psalm 105 verses 5 and 8. “Remember His marvelous works that He has done, His wonders, and the judgements of His mouth,” “He has remembered His covenant forever; the word which He commanded to a thousand generations.”

We should remember God’s words. We should remember God’s wonders and God’s works. The trouble is we forget. How easy it was for the children of Israel to forget what God had done. Annually, Israel celebrated the Passover. And one reason for that celebration was to remind them that God had delivered them out of the bondage of Egypt. But oh, how easy it is to forget! 

Are your remembering God’s blessings? Oh, I know there are some things we ought to forget. Paul says, “Forgetting those things which are behind,” (Philippians 3:13). But the psalmist tells us, “Remember His marvelous works.” 

The next time you’re tempted to be critical, the next time you’re tempted to get angry at God, just remember His marvelous works. And remember that God remembers. He has remembered His covenant forever. God deals with us on the basis of His covenant, not on the basis of law. He has made promises to us and He has sealed that covenant with the blood of His Son. God remembers His covenant and He wants us to remember His marvelous works. 

And don’t forget that His promises never fail. There has not failed one word of all of God’s promise. Even when we forget, God remembers. Even when we neglect God’s Word, He remembers His word. God keeps His promises. God is faithful. And God will never lie. Let today be a day of spiritual memory. Let’s remember God’s works, His wonders, His Word and let’s remember that God remembers and we should not forget.
