Life is hard—there’s no way around it. The longer we live, the more challenging it can become. A reality we make even more difficult when we choose to lead a life that pursues our own will instead of God’s. So, when you feel like life is beating you down or the consequences of the choicesContinue reading “Remember the Rock”

Remember Me Once Again
Samson has always been such an interesting Biblical story to me. Samson was one of the few individuals selected to serve as a judge for God. His birth was a gift from God to his parents since they could not have children (1 Samuel 14). He was blessed with immense strength as long as HeContinue reading “Remember Me Once Again”
In My Distress
Psalm 77 is an extremely emotional lament psalm of Asaph. Asaph expresses very vividly his despair and the hopelessness of Israel. While the context of the psalm is not certain, most biblical scholars believe the context was during a time of some type of national crisis in Israel, possibly even during their exile. Remembrance isContinue reading “In My Distress”
In Wrath, Have Mercy
The book of Habakkuk is a very short book in the Bible. Habakkuk was a prophet called to awaken Judah to their wickedness and warn them of the impending judgment. The book itself recounts a conversation between God and Habakkuk. The book explores God’s justice, faithfulness, and sovereignty. Habakkuk wrestles with profound questions, such asContinue reading “In Wrath, Have Mercy”
You Made Me
Have you ever faced an experience so painful that you questioned why God created you? You’re not alone in that thought. Job endured immense suffering due to Satan’s temptations. He lost all his material possessions, his children, and even the support of his wife, who essentially abandoned him during his trials. To make matters worse,Continue reading “You Made Me”
In the Night
The nights are challenging for me. I’m a very light sleeper and borderline insomniac. I also struggle with nighttime anxiety. Despite taking medication and staying consistent with exercise, some nights I find myself lying awake, unable to sleep—especially if one of my dogs wakes me up. Then, depending on where my mind takes me, IContinue reading “In the Night”
Remember to Forget
Throughout Psalm 25, David pleads to God for deliverance and forgiveness. In the middle of the Psalm are two verses about remembering and forgetting. The entire section reads: Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways according to yourContinue reading “Remember to Forget”
Your Mercy
David frequently asks God to remember aspects of His personality. Generally, those requests come from David during hard circumstances. David’s requests do not reflect a lack of confidence in God or suggest any doubt that God’s nature has changed. Instead, they represent David’s plea for God to demonstrate that specific trait. In Psalm 25, DavidContinue reading “Your Mercy”
My Good Works
The Scriptures are rich with reminders and commands for us to remember God, but they also include numerous examples of individuals asking God to remember. These requests often focus on God’s promises, His character, or specific circumstances in their lives. Figures like David, Moses, Abraham, Nehemiah, and Hezekiah — among many others — specifically petitionedContinue reading “My Good Works”
