Remember

Remember

"But I'm telling you, Don’t be afraid. Remember—yes, remember in detail what GOD, your God, did to Pharaoh and all Egypt." (Deuteronomy 7:18)

This verse gives us a glimpse into one of God’s purposes for allowing us to pass through painful or challenging seasons. He says, “Remember.”

What were they to remember?

They were to recall everything God did for them in Egypt—the deliverance, the miracles, the preservation of their lives in the midst of oppression. Though their experience in Egypt was hard and painful, God wanted them to look back and see that His power, mercy, and faithfulness never failed.

God told them to “remember in detail.” It’s not enough to recall vaguely that God was good; we are to remember the specifics—how He made a way when there was none, how He strengthened us when we were weak, how He showed mercy when we deserved judgment, how He provided when there seemed to be no supply.

If we would take time to reflect on these details, our faith would grow stronger. Let your memory serve God’s purpose—recall the goodness of God, the power that saved you, the mercy that found you, and the favour that lifted you. The same God who did it before is still able to do it again.

He has not changed. “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

Reflection

What moments in your life can you point to as clear evidence of God’s faithfulness? Take time today to list them out. Each act of deliverance, each answered prayer, each unexpected blessing is a reminder that God is still the same. The same power that worked in your past is available in your present.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for every moment You’ve shown me Your faithfulness. Help me to remember—not just the victories, but the process that revealed Your strength in my weakness. When fear and doubt try to rise, remind me of what You’ve already done. I choose to remember in detail, and to trust that You who were faithful before will be faithful again.
Amen.

Have a fruitful day,
