The Memory of God's Abundant Goodness

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness and will shout joyfully of Your righteousness. (Ps.145:7)

As I was preparing to speak at one of our supporting churches, I found this verse in a psalm. I am reminded again of the importance of spiritual memory. We need to remember and tell others (like our children) of God's interventions, blessings and even miracles. When we come to the next trial it is good to remember that God saw us through the previous one. God told the Israelites to gather a pile of stones to remind them of the miraculous crossing of Jordan. Jesus told us to eat bread and drink wine in rememberance of Him. We are forgetful people and God knows that we need reminders. Lord, let us keep and proclaim the memory of Your abundant goodness.
