Review God's Track Record - Read Judg. 6:7-9

Have you ever wondered why God seemed to reiterate to Israel what He had done for them constantly? I have, and I think I know why. You see, whenever one faces a challenge or a victory, there is the tendency to act as though it is a first. Somehow, we face each obstacle with a sense of dread, as though we have no idea how it will turn out. Likewise, we sometimes over-savor our victories as though they will be our last.

As with Israel, I believe that God wants us to review His track record. When tempted to be in despair about today, please take a moment to remember a better yesterday when God Almighty sent His aid and comfort and brought you out of what you thought was impossible. Equally, when you are in the throes of a blissfully wonderful season of life, stop frequently to thank Him and remember that this is not the only time that the Lord has allowed the lines to fall in pleasant places for you. After all, if He has ever done a thing, He can certainly do it again.

So, whether you need to be untethered from discouragement or if you are clinging to victory as though it will never be repeated, review God’s track record and think of the many times He has come through with and for you. You will receive the strength to live a balanced and content life knowing that God’s track record is impeccable.
