Remember When​.​.​.

from The Golden Road (Solo Piano) by John Albert Thomas

about

The pace at which many of us choose to live our lives often excludes time for serious reflection. Perhaps we make ourselves busy because we are afraid to take a close look at ourselves–our past, our current lifestyle and our future. But why the fear? Maybe it’s because we often feel that the truth will hurt us. It is objective, and it does not care about our feelings. So to protect ourselves from the sometimes-harsh reality of what is true, we don’t allow ourselves the time and energy to think about it.

But God wants us to take the time to look back and reflect. “This is what the Lord Almighty says: Give careful thought to your ways.” (Haggai 1:5, NIV) The Psalmist says, “I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works. I think about what you have done.” (Psalms 143:5, NLT) Our faith is reinforced when we look back and see how God has been working in our lives up until this very moment. When we see how he brought us through all the trials and circumstances of our lives we cannot help but have hope for the future. If we can’t see how God has been working in our lives, we should ask him to show us. We may have to courageously face the fact that someone whom we love has hurt us. But the faith and courage it takes to look back and see that hurt is the same faith and courage that accepts the fact that through every hurt God was preparing us for this day and the days to come. His ultimate goal for us is to not only bring glory to himself, but also for us to enjoy him in every way.
