Psalm 77:11-15

Psalm 77

11 

I shall remember the deeds of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 

I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

13 

Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?

14 

You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

15 

You have by Your power redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

At the start of the chapter, you can almost feel Asaph’s struggle through his words. He is weary, faint, disturbed, worried, grieving, depressed, and his soul refuses to be comforted.

During the low point Asaph is in, he decides to turn to God in his turmoil. He resolves to remember the work of the Lord in verses 11-15. Rather than dwelling on his situation, he chooses to meditate on the wonder of God’s power and the mighty work God has done. He recognizes that the redemption for this life is only through God.

We will definitely all face trials. Trouble and hard times will come. While we may face sadness, grief, frustration, depression, etc., we have a choice to either dwell on those emotions, or meditate on the strength and work of the Lord. While you are waiting for God to work in your situation, remember all the times He has worked previously. Remember that His way is holy. After all, as verse 13 says, what god is great like our God?

Lamentations 3:19-23- Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases and his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
