Tell Me a Story

Devotion

Remembering the mighty works of God and His watch care in our lives is a high priority for God’s people, because it is a high priority for God Himself. To “remember the days of old (and to) consider the years of many generations” pleases the Lord who continues in Deuteronomy 32:7, “…ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.” In the Old Testament, the Children of Israel were urged to remember how God brought them out of slavery “with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm (Deuteronomy 5:15).” Faith in God is nurtured and confidence for the future is strengthened when we remember how God has faithfully intervened in our lives in the past and kept His promises to us.
