𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕃𝔼:
REMEMBERING AND PROCLAIMING THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF GOD
ANCHOR SCRIPTURES
"Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church." - 3 John 1:10 (KJV)
- Psalm 77:11-12
- Psalm 105:1-5
- Deuteronomy 8:2
- Lamentations 3:21-23
KEY VERSE
"I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all Your work, and talk of Your deeds." - Psalm 77:11-12 (NKJV)
DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
The Christian life is sustained not merely by present experiences but also by remembering God's faithfulness in the past. The psalmist deliberately chose to recall God's mighty acts when discouragement threatened to overwhelm him. Remembering God's works renews faith, restores hope, strengthens patience, and gives confidence for future victories.
In 3 John 1:10, the Apostle John exposed the evil deeds of Diotrephes because his works opposed God's kingdom. This teaches us that every deed is remembered before God, whether righteous or evil. While the wicked may boast of their sinful works for a season, God's people are commanded to remember, meditate upon, and proclaim His righteous acts.
God has healed, delivered, provided, protected, forgiven, restored, promoted, and preserved His children throughout history. Israel was repeatedly instructed never to forget how God brought them out of Egypt because forgetfulness often leads to pride, unbelief, compromise, and disobedience.
Many believers become discouraged because they focus more on present challenges than on previous victories. When David faced Goliath, he first remembered God's help against the lion and the bear (1 Samuel 17:34-37). His memory of God's faithfulness became the foundation of fresh courage.
Remembering God's deeds is more than mental recollection. It involves thanksgiving, testimony, worship, obedience, and renewed confidence. Every testimony strengthens both the one who shares it and those who hear it.
Never allow temporary difficulties to erase permanent testimonies. The God who worked yesterday remains the same today and forever.

HYMN
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Thomas Obadiah Chisholm (1866–1960), William Marion Runyan (1870–1957)
Message
This hymn beautifully celebrates God's unchanging faithfulness and reminds believers to continually remember His mercies that are new every morning.
Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee.
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.
TODAY'S CHALLENGE
Write down at least ten specific ways God has been faithful to you. Thank Him for each one, share one testimony with another person, and choose to trust Him for your present need.
