Sometimes when we go through really tough times in life, we begin to question God’s love for us, or God’s ability to change things for the better.
Asaph, who wrote Psalm 77, demonstrates a good approach for times like this. He shows us that, as he goes through his own tough times and doubts, he takes the opportunity to step back and remember that God has a track record.
And that track record is one we all ought to examine from time to time. We’ll find a pattern of love. We’ll discover a habit of grace and mercy. We’ll observe a custom of displaying infinite power — for just the right reasons, at just the right time.
Which quite possibly begs the question: Is this the right time for you to remember God’s track record, to consider it, to meditate on it, even?
You can find that amazing track record right here in the Bible!
“I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds” (Psalm 77:11-15, NIV).
Our Bible reading for Tuesday, June 23, is 1 Kings 11:14 – 12:24, Acts 15:22-41 and Psalm 77:10-20.
Lord, help me recall your track record. Help me remember your deeds and miracles, your works and might. Most of all, help me remember your grace and mercy in Jesus Christ, your Son, my Lord and my Savior.

I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.” Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as 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. (Psalm 77:11-15 NIV)
Heavenly Father, it’s in your word I see your miracles and works of glory. The amazing pictures mind creates of these wonders brings joy to my heart. You are truly a holy god just and true. Lord your gospel is full of wondrous acts of love and compassion. The life of Jesus was filled with love for you Son. The apostles that started your church did many wonderful things in Jesus name. Lord be with me as my mind recreates your wonder. Help me to share these wonders with those I love and those that just need to put something different, something better in their minds.
