I remember the days of old

“I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.” - Psalms 143v5

In one sense we are told to forget those things that are behind and press on to the prize that God has for us. This of course refers to those things in the past that would keep us from serving God or keep us trapped in sin. It is vital that we lay those things aside.

There are things about the past that we are told to remember though. The psalmist writes that he meditated on what God had done in the days of old. When we read James 1 we find that this is part of the reason that we can rejoice in trials, because God uses those trials to mature and prepare us for the future so that we can look back and remember how God worked.

Lets remember to remember what God has done for us in the days of old.
