Do you ever find yourself forgetting things like your keys, your to-do list, or where you placed something important? Just as we forget everyday details, it’s also easy to forget the character of God and the many ways He blesses us. Psalm 103 invites us to pause and remember. This beautiful passage reminds us of God’s unending mercy, His compassion, and His faithfulness to those who love Him.
Do you have places you love and desire to return to? The writer of Psalm 84 certainly did. Potentially from a foreign land but certainly amid personal difficulty, the psalmist yearns to return to God’s dwelling place - the Temple of Jerusalem. Like Psalm 84, we can feel distant from God’s presence. As we encounter trials, we must cultivate a similar desire to seek God’s strength and protection.
