Don't Play It Safe #22


In Psalm 77, after crying out and wondering if God had abandoned him, the Psalmist answers in the next verse: 
10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
    to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your work,
    and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy.
    What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
    you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 You with your arm redeemed your people,
    the children of Jacob and Joseph.
 
Remembering the Faithfulness of God, His works, and His ways brings the psalmist back to his senses.  There was no reason to doubt God's presence, faithfulness, or ways.  God had been consistent and still was.  Yes, circumstances change.  Challenges do come up, especially if we are willing to take risks in a journey of faith.  But God is building a story of which He is allowing us to be a part.  The only way we will find our full part is when in faith we step out and step into our role.
