Remember and Worship

Jeremiah 45-47; Psalms 105; John 21 

“Give praise to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.”

Psalm 105:1-4

We are commanded to remember God’s works in history and give him the glory. God’s works remind us that his hand guides the nations and his sovereign will, will be accomplished. More than that, we remember and proclaim God’s wonderful acts so we, too, will be reminded to always seek God’s face and are renewed by his strength. The Holy Spirit both reminds us of what God’s Word says and it empowers us to obey and live that Word. Living with this divine ‘plumb line’ will fill us with the joy of the Lord.

Why do God’s people sing songs of joy?

Why is this joy not a part of other religions?

The powers of darkness cannot replicate the joy of the Lord in the intimacy of his presence. We have a testimony to remember and sing about!

“Lord Jesus, your joy is my strength this day, for your glory.”
