Many people think that because they have
left their past behind, it won't affect them at all. And yes, God has redeemed
us from our past, but how you remember it has a powerful effect on your
destiny.
Psalm 78 was written by Asaph and accounts
God's kindness for Israel.
It says,
"The children of
Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of
battle. They did not keep the covenant of God;
they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them."
Do you remember God's faithfulness, or do
you remember all the failures? It is so important to remember God's
faithfulness, and that's why many Psalms account what God has done in the past.
But the devil wants you to remember all the
bad things. He will tell you that today and tomorrow won't bring any
difference.
Is your glass half empty or half full?
Do you remember all the good things people
did to you and become grateful? Or do you remember all the bad things that
happened to you and become bitter?
When I grow weary, fearful or anxious about
my future, I always encourage myself with the situations where God pulled me
through. And there are many of them!
God doesn't change. The same God who helped
you yesterday will help you today and tomorrow, even when the devil would like
to tell you otherwise.
You should have a long memory when it comes to God's works. If you remember the victories and God's faithfulness you will win the battle today.
