" 'When my soul fainted within me, I remember the LORD, and my prayer went up to You into Your holy temple.' "
Jonah 2:7
Jonah had sea-weeds wrapped around his head (vs. 5) and felt that he was going to die (vs. 6). When a person experiences what the mystic called "the dark night of the soul" – when faith grows faint – the best antidote is to remember the Lord. David prayed this when faced with adversity: "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living" (Psalm 27:13). Remember God's goodness and faithfulness when life is dark.
Today's Thought: Remembering the goodness of God in the past is an encouragement to faith in the present.
Have a remembering day. Love you.
