seeking through remembering

Seek the Lord , and his strength: seek his face evermore.  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;  And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:  That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord .  

Psalms 105:4-5, 43, 45

I know we all can get caught up in the daily struggles - our hurts and disappointments seem inconsolable. We cry out to God and He seems not to come as quickly to the rescue as we'd like Him too. However, if we would take just a moment to remember all the times he's delivered or blessed us, our souls would find strength to continue on. There's peace and hope in knowing we serve a God who does rescue, who does redeem, who does perform miracles, and who gives us sweet memories to call upon, if only we would.

again, and again

When the pslamist wrote,
"For thou hast delivered my soul from death..." I have to believe he knew a little something about defeat, and what it was like to see redemption bring him victory. I would say that is why he finished the verse by saying, "wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?" He knew where his strength and help was, and he claimed it, almost as if he were saying, "haven't I already seen you take care of greater battles than this little fight? Sure I have, so you got this one too.  (Psalms 56:13)
I have really been struggling lately, feeling defeated and burdened with my disobedient nature, however, I must keep looking unto Jesus, the author and FINISHER of my faith...even when I don't feel worthy to call out his name, I must. Will he not deliver me again and again? Of course he will, because He's just that merciful, and He's just that good!
