“REMEMBER!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 631

May 16, 2023///

I just got a call asking me about today’s Me-Maw Thoughts. I have done these thoughts every Tuesday for 630 Tuesdays and today I had to have someone to remind me! I got up and got a cup of coffee, prayed, and studied the word and went about doing the things I needed to do. I was thankful for a complete day home for the first time in 10 days and was taking advantage of it. Then the call came in and I realized I had forgotten.

As I was asking the Lord to guide me in the thought to share, He placed in my heart the fact of how we are just like that with the Lord’s goodness, mercy and past miracles and the blessings He gives us constantly!

Do we always focus on the now problems and the situations we do or may face in a day or can we live the truth of the past goodness of God.

Psalm 143:5 (KJV)
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

1 Timothy 4:15 (KJV)
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

Psalm 119:48 (KJV)
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, can we focus on the goodness of God and the times He has come through for us and fought our battles. Do we begin to remember and talk of those past rescues.

When we are sick can we talk of times past when we were healed or saw a miracle take place in someone’s life? Or can we at least remember the scriptures or look them up and confess that “by His stripes we are healed”? Remember “He sent His word and healed them”!

When we are worried can we say aloud, ‘I cast all my care on you for you care for me”. Can we talk about past experiences when our worry was useless, and nothing we worried about came to pass?

Psalm 77:12 (KJV)
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

We must open our mouth and begin to express the word and past victories! The word is powerful and as we praise God for past battles won and quote His promises back to Him, trust in who He is and what He says is truth will begin to grow in us!

Nahum 1:7 (KJV)
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Psalm 143:8 (KJV)
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Do we really trust in His word and His promises and His nature. Do we really believe He is for us and not against us?

Can we trust and understand no matter the problem or the situation, in Him we are victorious.

Fear is a snare to trust and faith that God will deliver and handle the situation!

Proverbs 29:25 (KJV)
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Our fear holds us captive but if we will meditate on the Word and Gods Love, trust will give us a safe place!

Psalm 56:3 (KJV)
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Oh friend, how many problems we would be spared from if we will just meditate on Gods goodness, His promises in His word and trust in His Love and nature!

Psalm 143:8 (KJV)
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Psalm 18:2 (KJV)
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Father forgive us when receive breath, life. and past blessings, but when trouble comes focus on that. May we meditate on the truth you have proven time and again. We are a needy people and need to be reminded of your faithfulness again and again and May each of walk in trust. Trust in the truth brings victory and Power! I ask in Jesus’ name! Amen!

Remember! Love MeMaw!
