Judges 9, John 6: 1-24, Psalm 77: 10-20
Psalm 77: 11-12 (ESV)
“I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember
your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty
deeds.”
When I read verses 11 and 12 from Psalm 77, tears came to my
eyes. When I read through several Bible studies on this psalm, the Biblical scholars
wrote that the message of this psalm is that you shouldn’t brood on your sorrow
because it will make you feel broken and disheartened. Instead, you should be
determined to remember the miracles of God in your life, think about what
happened, and meditate of them. I can feel the anguish in the Psalm prior to
these verses, so when the writer of Psalm 77 instead chooses to remember God’s miracles
I can also feel how he had to will himself to do it. I know for myself how hard
it was to remember how good God has been in my life when I was in the depths of
pain and sorrow. But to praise God when you feel broken is the ultimate act of
faith because it shows you have total trust that God the father is greater than
your feeling of brokenness. That the sorrow and pain you feel is temporary
because God is always faithful and will help you find your way to the light
once again.
