Thursday Inspiration: Remember the marvels of the Lord

“Remember the marvels the Lord has done” – Psalm 105:5

Psalm 105 was written in response to the story of Joseph from Genesis (the one with the coat). It talks, in wonder and awe, of the majesty of God’s plan, how God sustained the peoples of the world through this one man; how even out of the most terrible time in the life of Joseph, God was there directing him.

Sometimes things line up perfectly. You lose interest in a job only to hear about a job better suited for your gifts; you visit a college campus on whim only to fall in love with it and enroll; you happen to bump into that perfect person by taking a wrong turn.

Our faith calls us to reflect on our past and notice the hand of God at work. Through this thoughtful reflection, we can see how God works in our life and perhaps notice a pattern. As we grow in faith we start to notice this pattern in real-time, and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, begin to see the action of God at any given moment. Let us always remember and thank God for what the Lord has done!
