"And I said, “This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.” But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works." Psalms 77:10–12 (NLT)
When life stinks, the future looks bleak and God seems absent, Asaph counsels us to look back and reflect upon those times when we experienced God wonderfully, mightily at work in our lives. Some might call this focusing on the positive (or positive self-talk), but it is more than this. It is not about wishing things better; it is about patiently, faithfully anticipating God's intervention once again, for God will indeed reveal himself anew.
