- Psalm 16:9- In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
- I did not originally plan for this to be the next episode. I was hoping to continue in the identity series. However, God is teaching me to follow His direction with this podcast and not depend on my own strategy skills.
- Why is it important to mark the God sightings in our life?
- Because when we do, we realize that His faithfulness is real and tangible.
- When we remember God’s faithfulness in the past, then we can have faith and courage knowing that He will be faithful in our future.
- Psalm 77:14-20- You are te God who works wonders, You have made known Your strength among the people. You have y Your power redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. The clouds poured out water; the skies give forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there. The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightning lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. Your way was in the sea. And Your paths in the mighty waters; and Your footprints may not be known. You led Your people like a flock. By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
- Remembrance has always been important in Jewish culture.
- Leviticus 23 talks about seven annual feasts of remembrance, marking God’s rescue, victories, blessings, protection, and atonement of sin.
- When the Israelites followed these rules they made great changes and were blessed by God.
- 2 Chronicles 30-31 describes how King Hezekiah brought back the Passover feast after many years of forgetting. Having this remembrance feast fresh in their minds, the Israelites were able to stay “strong and courageous” as they waited and watched God protect them from the taunts and attacks of the King of Assyria.
- The book of 1 Samuel describes a time where Samual placed a stone as a physical reminder of God’s faithfulness in protecting the Israelites from the Philistines.
- 1 Samuel 7:12- Samuel then took a large stone and placed it between the towns of Mizpah and Jeshanah. He named it Ebenezer (which means “the stone of help:) for he said, “Up to this point the LORD has helped us!”
- This episode is my Ebenezer, my documentation of how God has shown His faithfulness in my life specifically in the past seven years.
- Isaiah 30:18-21- Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord has given you bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying “This is the way; walk in it.”
