Our Help In Ages Past!
"Remember that the Lord your
God led you all the way these
forty years in
the wilderness."
Deuteronomy 8: 2
In an old devotional book, this comment
appears
under Deuteronomy 8:2: “When anxieties disturb or
troubles depress, do I remember God’s goodness in
the past and how thus far He
has brought me through
every difficulty?
And does the remembrance fill me with thankfulness for
the past and courage for the future? When a new mercy
meets me, do I see a Father’s love in it? And do I follow
cheerfully where His providence
leads?”
While our faith may be weak and our eyes
dimmed by illness or discouragement, there
is no missing what God has done for us in
the past.
Look back and remember that He who was
our help in ages past is our hope for years
to come. He has led us all the way.
If you’re struggling today, take a moment to
look back at a specific time when the Lord
helped you. Then remind yourself that He
is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
"Could we look upon our entire life and
take in all its changes by a single glance,
every step would be seen to have been
guided by God’s
mercy."
Tyron Edwards
