Thought for the Week
Traditionally January is the time of year when I print photographs and put them in an album, to capture memories of the past year. I have more time to do it, I can refer back to last year’s calendar for dates of events, and our summer holiday is still fresh in my mind.
Memory serves a valuable role in our relationship with God. Remembering the things we’re ashamed of having done helps to keep us humble, conscious that we do not deserve God’s grace. Remembering times when God has been especially good to us, and remembering his promises, help us to trust in his goodness for our future.
“When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
Psalm 126 v 1-3
