Looking Back

PictureMaking plans for 2014!
I want to encourage you, as we are quickly approaching the new year, to have a plan in place to record how it is the Lord works in your life in the days to come in 2014.  Many times we believe we don’t have time to make a place in our electronic devices or a note book where we can record how God has been working in our lives.  These wonderful journals will bring glory to God as you look back and see and remember God’s mighty hand at work.  It will be of great encouragement when you are perhaps in a season of trials.  Sometimes we become stagnant in our walk with the Lord.  Our prayer time seems perhaps a bit dry or our reading of God’s Word doesn’t have the same fire or desire as it once did.  The thoughts and times that we record will be as fuel on a fire that will remind us of the endless power and provision that the Lord has so graciously poured upon on us in the past.  They will encourage us and God will be the very source of the blessings and strength that we gain from such wonderful memories.  

"I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the works of thy hands."  Psalm 143:5

My wife and I have written down specific prayers and from time to time we go back and take stock to see how God has either answered those prayers or perhaps the Lord has had us in a season of waiting upon Him and His will. You will grow closer to your spouse and more importantly as a couple you will grow closer to the Lord as you depend more upon Him.  Your journal, whether it is kept electronically or on simple notebook paper, will come alive when you revisit the history between you and Almighty God.  Your faith will increase as you cease not trusting in the Lord.  This plan is not only for married couples but also for those who aren’t married. I want to encourage all to keep track and look back.  You will be greatly blessed by such a simple investment of your time.

In our aforementioned verse from Psalm 143 David took three actions during a time of persecution that can be our template to follow at any juncture in our lives:

I. He remembered- To bring to mind or think of again.

II. He meditated- To focus our thoughts; to reflect.

III. He mused- To ponder; to converse with one’s self.

In 2014 let’s look up; let’s look back and let's confess one to another the greatness of the living God!
