Don’t Let Your Memory Go Missing

10 Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face always. ¹² Remember the wonders he has done,
    his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

²³ Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
    proclaim his salvation day after day.
²⁴ Declare his glory among the nations,
    his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

²⁵ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    he is to be feared above all gods.
²⁶ For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
²⁷ Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

²⁸ Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
²⁹ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering and come before him.

³⁶ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.

Big Idea: Thanksgiving overflows when God’s people remember His faithfulness and proclaim His greatness publicly.
