Remember What God Has Done

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

August 13, 2024

We tend to forget every good thing God has done for us. When we face new challenges, we often do not remember our deliverance from old ones. 

When David stood before Goliath, he rehearsed his past victories to build up his faith. He recounted his triumphs to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God” (1 Samuel 17:34-36, NKJV).

Moses reminded Israel of all their past deliverances, then he warned them, “Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren” (Deuteronomy 4:9).

The Bible says of Israel, “They did not keep the covenant of God…and forgot his works and his wonders that he had shown them” (Psalm 78:10-11). 

Like the Israelites, we tend to think the same way whenever we face a new trial or affliction. We say, “Oh, God, this time it’s too much for me to face.” God answers, “Simply look back and remember me!” 

A good practice of remembrance is to keep a journal to remind yourself of God’s great deliverances in your life. Write down a few notes at night before going to bed. Do whatever it takes to remind yourself of all the things God has done for you, all the heartaches you have been through and the deliverance he brought. When your next affliction arises, open your notebook and say to the enemy, “You are not going to deceive me this time. My God brought me out before, and he will do it again.”
