"Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old."
Psalms 77:9-11
I like this passage because I feel like it is something we all go through at some point. When things go wrong, we wonder what is up... has God abandoned us? Have we gone too far this time, and he's given up on us?
That is never the case though, and we can stop and remember that whatever we're going through right now is a challenging trial, but it doesn't mean that God doesn't care. We can remember how many times he has saved us in the past, and helped us through the hardest things.
We can also go to the scriptures and remember God's pattern with all of his children, consistently saving them and us, and doing wonders among us, helping us to become people of faith, and a happy and joyful, unified people as well.
Today, when we start wondering about our current trials and where God's graciousness is, let's take a step back and remember his pattern in our lives and in the scriptures, and then let's shore up our faith and our patience, and press on, trusting that the Lord still cares, and will still, and always, deliver us as we work to walk in his path.
