When I remember
So if you watch enough pro wrestling you learn that a wrestler will often use what is called a promo to remind the viewer of what took place before. In the words of Hulk Hogan “When I slammed Andre the Giant the slam heard round the world....” Comic books use transitional phrases. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air would say “What had happened was.” The Highlander movies and series rely heavily on flashbacks. The Bible brings up history of things God has done that he wants his people to remember. Now before I get too far into remembering things I want to give you something you can hang onto because they were passed onto me by my dad. Three life principles.
- There is a God
- You are not him
- There is no vacancy
Now the Psalmist is about to enforce these truths.
Psalm 77:11-15
“I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; Surely I will remember your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all your work and muse on your deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
You are the God who works wonders; You have made known your strength among the people’s.
You have by your power redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.”
The reason we need to remember who God is and what he has done is because it causes us to seek and praise him.
I want to conclude with this song I discovered this week that functions also as the title of the blog.
“And I will bless your name, I will give you all my praise for the finest hour of history, it will always be the cross. You know the finest hour of my history it will always be the cross. When I remember what you’ve done when I remember the shedding of your blood I can’t help but worship you.”
