Remembering Who God iS
Paul does not anchor himself in his feelings, his circumstances, or his strength. He anchors himself in what God has already done. He delivered us and He will deliver us again. Anxiety grows when we forget. Faith grows when we remember.
The same God who got you through that hard season, that dark year, that moment where you did not know how you would make it, He is not finished yet. Your history with God is not just a story about the past. It is evidence for what He will do next.
Questions to Consider:
- Where has God shown up for you before, in a season where you did not see how things could work out?
- How does remembering that moment change how you see what you are facing today?
- What is one specific thing you are trusting God with right now?
pRAYER:
"God, I remember when You [name a past moment of provision]. I trust that You are the same God today. I am choosing to believe You are not done."
