“Remembering God’s past faithfulness”

Have you ever found yourself in a moment of uncertainty, wondering if God will show up for you again? Maybe you’re facing a challenge that feels bigger than your faith or waiting on an answer that seems delayed. In those moments, it’s easy to forget how far God has already brought us. But Scripture reminds us over and over: Remember.Throughout the Bible, God urges His people to look back. To recall His goodness. To bring to mind His miracles and mercies. Not because He needs the recognition, but because we need the reminder.

“I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.” – Psalm 77:11

When we remember what God has done, it strengthens our hearts to trust Him for what He will do.

Looking Back Builds Faith

When I take time to reflect on my own journey, I see markers of God’s faithfulness—moments I thought would break me that ended up building me. Times I didn’t know how I would make it through, but God provided in ways I never expected. Healing I didn’t think was possible. Peace in the middle of chaos.It’s easy to forget these things in the whirlwind of life. That’s why remembering is an intentional act. A spiritual discipline.

Practical Ways to Remember

• Start a faith journal. Write down answered prayers, moments of encouragement, unexpected blessings, or scriptures that speak directly to your situation.
• Create a visual reminder. Whether it’s a bulletin board, a jar of written testimonies, or even a note on your phone, having a place to collect God’s faithfulness makes it easier to revisit.
• Celebrate spiritual anniversaries. Mark the dates when God did something significant in your life—big or small—and take time each year to give thanks.

Your Story Encourages Others

Your memories of God’s faithfulness aren’t just for you. They can be the encouragement someone else needs to keep trusting. When we share our testimonies, we remind each other that God is still moving, still healing, still providing.

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story…” – Psalm 107:2

So today, if you find yourself struggling to see the road ahead, take a moment to look behind. Remember how God showed up when you least expected it. Remember the doors He opened. The peace He gave. The people He sent.And let that memory light your faith for what’s next.
