Psalm 77

Psa 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

This is such a beautiful Psalm. Asaph has filled the mind with beautiful pictures of how God moves. He uses playful imagery, calling lightning God's arrows. He gives us the idea that God is moving around in the waters, watching us from the depths, as well as the heavens. Like other psalms by Asaph, this one also involves a struggle. Had God disappeared? Was He sneaking around but no longer there to help? Asaph only had to do one thing to get the right answer. He remembered the works of the Lord.

Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." He was breaking bread, and pouring wine, as a picture of the ultimate sacrifice that was to come. Why would God ask us to remember? Because we forget! If you are anything like me you can get all caught up in the deep thoughts of the Word and forget about the beautiful simpleness of the sacrifice. He died, we live. Simply remembering that should give you a new view on today. Jesus died for you and it has changed your life forever!

For Asaph, it was something to sing about. He wrote this song to tell us of how he remembered God. Spend time worshiping God, giving Him praise. He died, He is risen, and He is so involved in our lives.
