PHOTO: Psalm 77:7-15
Will he never show his favor again?
Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
Then I thought, "To this I will appeal:
the years of the right hand of the Most High."
I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
I will meditate on all your works
and consider all your mighty deeds.
Your ways, O God, are holy.
What god is so great as our God?
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
As he was reading, something happened. "My memory of God's faithfulness was revived and my sagging faith began to recover," he said. "Remembering had restored my confidence in the Lord." Dunn now encourages Christians to keep a book of remembrance recording God's activity in their lives. "One day," he writes, "it may mean the difference between victory and defeat."
In Psalm 77, Asaph's faith was also floundering. After listing his serious doubts, he asked, "Has God forgotten to be merciful?" (Psalm 77:9). Suddenly he stopped and said, "To this I will appeal, the years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the deeds of the Lord, yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago" (Psalm 77:10-11). The act of remembering obviously revived his faith. Just read the rest of the psalm!
Why not create your own book of remembrance, recording God's wonderful deeds? Then read it often, especially on days of doubt.

PHOTO: In 1970, Ronald Dunn began keeping a record of answered prayers and special blessings in a little book. He misplaced the book but found it again several years later at a time when his faith was floundering (struggling). He was surprised that he had forgotten most of the incidents he had written about.
