DAYS OF DOUBT: In 1970, Ronald Dunn began keeping a record of answered prayers and special blessings in a little book.
He misplaced the book but found it again several years later at a time when his faith was foundering. He was surprised that he had forgotten most of the incidents he had written about.
As he was reading, something happened. "My memory of God's faithfulness was revived and my sagging faith began to recover," he said. "Remembering had restored my confidence in the Lord." Dunn now encourages Christians to keep a book of remembrance, recording God's activity in their lives. "One day," he writes, "it may mean the difference between victory and defeat." In Psalm 77, Asaph's faith was also foundering. After listing his serious doubts, he asked, "Has God forgotten to be gracious?" (v.9). Suddenly he stopped and said: "I will remember the years of [God's] right hand . . . . I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember Your wonders of old" (vv.10-11). The act of remembering obviously revived his faith.
Just read the rest of the psalm! Why not create your own book of remembrance, recording God's wonderful deeds? Then read it often, especially on days of doubt. -Joanie Yoder
Remembering God?s goodness is a good cure for doubt.

關於此計劃
It doesn’t matter if you have been downsized, laid off or outsourced, let go or fired. The pain is real, and the terrible toll of fear, anger, confusion, and uncertainty that happens when a person’s world collapses around him or her is much more than a statistical reality. It is just real. We pray that these devotionals will be used by Him to bring you hope and encouragement.
