REMEMBER FIRST


Listen Later

"Remember first what God has done" is a recurring biblical theme urging believers to recall divine faithfulness and miracles to strengthen present faith, find hope in hardship, and avoid repeating past mistakes, with key scriptures like Psalm 105:5 and Deuteronomy 8:2 instructing remembrance of God's mighty works, deliverance from Egypt, and guidance in the wilderness to build trust and gratitude for His ongoing presence and future promises. Core Meanings in Scripture

  • Strengthens Faith: Recalling God's past miracles builds belief in His ability to help today, as seen in Psalm 77:11 and YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRgEmN0OBL8.
  • Promotes Gratitude: It fosters thankfulness for answered prayers, forgiveness, and protection, as taught in Psalm 103:2.
  • Teaches Humility: Remembering past rebellion, like Israel's in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 9:7), reminds people of their need for God's grace.
  • Provides Hope: God's consistent action in the past assures believers He is committed to their future, as explained in this Facebook post and this De Pree Center article. 
  • Psalm 105:5: "Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered".
  • Deuteronomy 8:2: "Remember the whole way that the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not".
  • Isaiah 46:9: "Remember the former things, from ancient days; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me".
