"Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" Mark 8:18
I have often said I think we forget what we should remember
and remember what we should forget. Jesus chastised the disciples on one of
their journeys because they had forgotten about a miracle He had done. They had
started out on a trip and suddenly remembered that they had forgotten to bring
enough bread. He then began to chastise them, asking if they had forgotten when
He fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread. Had they forgotten
another amazing miracle when He fed four thousand with seven loaves? Had they
remembered, they would not be worried about going hungry because of not having
brought enough bread with them.
If we would remember the miracles God has done in our past,
we would not so easily fall into worry and fear when we face new challenges.
When David was facing Goliath and nobody was encouraging him, he remembered the
lion and the bear that he had already slain with God’s help. Because of
remembering the past, he had no fear of the current situation.
Are you facing something right now that looms before you
like a giant in your life? Is it illness or financial lack? Is it relationship
problems? Is it something you have never done before and you don’t know where
to begin?
The truth is that it doesn’t matter what it is because
nothing is impossible for God. Take some time right now and recall some of the
things He has helped you with and brought you through in the past. Think about
and talk about those things, and you will find courage filling your heart.
