Refreshing Our Memory
I am struck by the fact that the prophets speaking about the future of Israel always kept reminding their people of God's great works in the past. They could look forward with confidence because they could look backward with awe to Yahweh's great deeds.
All this seems extremely important in a time in which our sense of history is so weak…. Without anchors in its early promises and aspirations, a nation is in danger of drifting and losing direction. And not only a nation but the Church as well. It seems that progress is always connected with a refreshing of our collective memory.
“He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.”
- Psalm 98: 3
Reflection Question: What will you remember today that will help you be anchored in God’s faithfulness?
