The contents of a godly memory.
Read full note →
Remember, recall the records of Divine dealings; set afresh before your minds your own personal experiences of the Divine goodness and mercy." The conception of the "solidarity of the race" is matched by that of the essential unity of the race, in its mental and spiritual experiences, throughout all the ages. Really to know God"s dealings with any one people is to know his dealings with all peoples. And therefore the story of his relations with the Jews is so minutely recorded, and so graciously preserved for us on whom the "ends of the world are come." And yet, further, it may be shown that an individual experience really affords the race-type. God is essentially to each what he is to all. We too often fix our attention on the changeable accidents of a man"s career, and then think that his experience is unique. If it were so it were of little use to keep any record of the Divine dealings with men, for one man"s experience could not help another. What then, are the usual contents of the godly memory? We can only deal with such as are suggested by the terms of the verses before us.
I IT HOLDS ITS OWN PERSONAL MEMORIES OF GOD"S GOODNESS. Not merely has the godly man a general belief in God and God"s merciful ways, but he has the assurance that God has been merciful to him. He can see in page after page of his life"s story how guidance, restraint, comfort, teaching, and strength have come in precise adaptations to his own conditions and needs. He can speak of the "good hand of his God which has ever been upon him for good." The importance of fixing the memory of God"s dealings by pious attention to them at the time, and by frequent review of them afterwards, should be pointed out. A richly stored memory becomes an unfailing well-spring of comfort in later life. To our view all our past should be dotted over with pillars we have raised, on which we have inscribed our "Ebenezer the Lord hath helped us;" and at any time we should be able to look back and bid these pillars remind us of the "wonderful works that he hath done.
II IT HOLDS THE RACE-MEMORIALS OF GOD"S GOODNESS. Scripture tells us of God"s dealings with men, both before he separated the Jewish people and while he had them under his special leadings. The God of the whole earth shall he be called." It is characteristic of David"s psalms that they are full of large broad thoughts of God"s relations to the whole world. And both Scripture and secular history should provide us with stores for the memory, as they reveal God"s workings towards his gracious ends of substantial and eternal good. If Israel may say, "He is the Lord our God," it must go on to say, "His judgments are in all the earth.
III IT HOLDS THE COVENANT PEOPLE"S MEMORIALS OF GOD"S GOODNESS. This is the. peculiar treasure of the godly. We have the Bible records of the covenant race God"s peculiar people, whom he had chosen for himself. Show what a large portion of the good man"s memory is taken up with the Scripture story of Israel. God"s ways with his covenant people are to us the model and example of all his dealings, and upon these we argue what he is and will be in his ways with us. But they are wonderful ways, marvellous works; often mysterious, often severe; ways of judgment as well as mercy.
Impress that the use of due occasions for considering the contents of the memory, for refreshing the memory, and for making new grounds of praise and trust, is a most important, but often neglected, part of Christian duty, bearing direct relation to Christian strength and joy. R.T.
