And I said, “This is my fate;
Psalms 77:10-11 (NLT)
the Most High has turned his hand against me.”
But then I recall all you have done, O LORD;
I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.
The Psalmist felt that God had abandoned him, that the Lord had rejected him and would no longer love him:
Has the Lord rejected me forever?
Psalms 77:7-8 (NLT)
Will he never again be kind to me?
Is his unfailing love gone forever?
Have his promises permanently failed?
But then he thought back to God’s great deeds of the past. He remembered that God miraculously brought Israel through the Red Sea (vv. 16-20).
Likewise, if you wonder if God is with you and cares for you, remember what he has done in the past. Remember supernatural events that only God could have done. Remember how he rescued you from the kingdom of darkness. This is enough for your faith. It is enough that he has proven himself in the past, for it means that he is still with you now as he promised. He still cares for you. Let the past encourage you and do not waste the faith it should produce.
