Thoughtful Testimony

“I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭77:11-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ In the mix of many tests and testimonies, there is always the mixup problem of what the heart should remember. Particularly, when the heart is focussed on wrong questions, wrong answers with thoughtless preoccupation of the mind by wicked imagination are ensured. But knowing that a thoughtful heart is a thankful heart, conscious efforts are made to remember the wonderful works of the Lord, amidst the prevailing concerns about the surrounding wicked vices. After all, if the wonders of old are premised by the wicked vices of old, the prevailing challenges of life are designed to present the upcoming testimonies of breakthroughs. It all depends on who, between God and Satan, the heart succeeded in signing up with as publicity agent. With a gracious meditation on God’s words, a thoughtful heart is readily filled wit...

Memory Mess

  “I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭77:11-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/114/psa.77.11-12.nkjv If someone’s classification of the spectrum of madness as bad, mad, sad, and glad is acceptable, it implies that everyone is mad; and only the degree of madness matters. The circumstances of life and the emotional reflection to life’s experiences constitute the major mess in human memory.

And like the Psalmist’s experiences, many questions with little or no answers are commonplace in life. However, the secret of stable and focussed mindset, in spite of the challenges of life, is here revealed: 1. Remember the works of the LORD and NOT the wickedness of lords; 2. Remember God’s wonders of old and ...

Honest Cry

http://bible.us/psa77.1.nkjv I cried out to God with my voice—To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. ‎ A man with little honour and dignity care less of the implications of public outburst of emotions. But a man with appreciable dignity weighs the negative consequences of uncontrolled emotions on his esteemed personality. Whichever choice of either inward or outward mode, expression of discomfort or disagreement in family, social and business relationships is summarily a complain , rather than a cry . A cry expresses submission of a subject to a superior in exchange of a service. Instead of a cry unto God; and like many in moments of discomfort, the Psalmist had resorted to a complain . Unfortunately, complaint breeds nothing better than nagging and conflict in family relationships, lack of confidence in intimate relationship with God‎, and spiritual dryness. But as soon as he cried out to God with his voice, the privilege of fellowship with God through a honest cry was real...
