Remember - Psalm 77:11-14

Psalm 77:11-14

11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

12  I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.

13  Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?

14  You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.

Introduction

Verses 1-9 paint the following picture:

a man who is in utter desperation

a man who can find no comfort in his attempts of approaching God

a man who has no personal experience with God to hold on to

-> At least so it seems! Why are we doing this time together?

You are not all like the Psalmist - I hope not!

I am not saying that it has to be like that when you go home

But at times we leave a spiritual high and Satan uses it to drag us into a hole

Application

-> What helped the Psalmist? And what can help us?

Verses 11-14 are that turning point

We see two significant choices:

1. View difficulties in light of God’s past help

2. Choose to interpret struggles in terms of God’s relationship

11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

The word “remember” is used many times throughout the OT and NT

The word doesn not just mean recalling someone or information, far more, it means acting out in accordance to...

This is what others see!

12 I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.

Vers 12 is more a inwardly directed remembering

this leans more towards a recalling of things God has done and who he is, leading to manifestation in my life

13  Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?

This is key: Gods way is holy!

The more we meditate on him and on what he has done, the more we will be confronted with his holiness

We see where we are only recalling but not acting out in our life

See: Struggles can be a blessing when they lead back to the right path

14  You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.

Recalling the greatness of God and the miracles he has done

Getting the right perspective on who God is and who you are
