Sometimes when we go through really tough times in life, we begin to question God's love for us, or God's ability to change things for the better.

Asaph, who wrote Psalm 77, demonstrates a good approach for times like this. He shows us that, as he goes through his own tough times and doubts, he takes the opportunity to step back and remember that God has a track record.

And that track record is one we all ought to examine from time to time. We'll find a pattern of love. We'll discover a habit of grace and mercy. We'll observe a custom of displaying infinite power -- for just the right reasons, at just the right time.

Which quite possibly begs the question: Is this the right time for you to remember God's track record, to consider it, to meditate on it, even?

You can find that amazing track record right here in the Bible!

"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds" (Psalm 77:11-15, NIV).

Our Bible reading for Tuesday, June 23, is 1 Kings 11:14 - 12:24, Acts 15:22-41 and Psalm 77:10-20.

Lord, help me recall your track record. Help me remember your deeds and miracles, your works and might. Most of all, help me remember your grace and mercy in Jesus Christ, your Son, my Lord and my Savior.
