Remembering What God Has Done
Remembering What God Has Done
Wednesday
“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above and his root beneath. Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.”
— Amos 2:9-10 (ESV)
“And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin… For the LORD saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel. But the LORD had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.”
— 2 Kings 14:24, 26-27 (ESV)

One of the main purposes of prayer, Bible reading, and worship is to remember what God has done. Israel had forgotten the Exodus, forgotten the wilderness, forgotten every act of deliverance — and forgetting led to unfaithfulness.
Even more striking, God had shown mercy to a nation that did not deserve it, saving them through a king who “did evil in the sight of the LORD.” God’s kindness is never proof that we have earned it; it is proof of who He is. Do not mistake His patience for approval of your sin.
What has God done in your own life that you are in danger of forgetting?

Prayer:
Lord, help me remember. Bring to mind Your faithfulness in seasons I have overlooked. Let gratitude, not entitlement, shape how I live today. In Jesus’ Name… Amen.
