Lord,
I admit, I read about the Israelites’ forgetting
“the abundance of your steadfast love” (Psalm 106:7)
and rebelling against you by the Red Sea,
and I get kind of judgy. How could they forget?
And yet, I too, struggle to remember your redemption.
Today and every day, I ask, help me to remember:
how you have “led [me] through the deep as through a desert” (Psalm 106:9),
[Name ways God has led you through deep and dark places];
how you “saved [me] from the hand of the foe
and redeemed [me] from the power of the enemy” (Psalm 106:10),
[Name ways God has saved you from foes and redeemed you from the enemy],
how you have “looked upon [my] distress and heard [my] cry” (Psalm 106:44),
[Name ways God has looked on your distress and heard your cry].
And most of all, how you “remembered [your] covenant,” (Psalm 106:45),
faithfully loving us and rescuing us
from our forgetful rebellion
by sending your Son Jesus Christ.
May we spend today
thanking you and praising you
for all of your wonderful deeds
and mighty works in our lives!
In Jesus’ rescuing name. Amen.
Read Psalm 106.
Create a legacy that will give you and your loved ones peace today and in the years to come.
