06-04-25 part 2: Meditating on the Miraculous

Section One

The broadcast begins with a heartwarming call from a grandmother named Deborah and her shy granddaughter Emma, who bravely answers a Bible trivia question about the Garden of Gethsemane. After affirming her correct answer, the conversation transitions into a request for prayer over a youth group’s long drive to Orange Beach, Alabama. This leads to a powerful, Spirit-led prayer for traveling mercies, protection, and spiritual impact. The tone of the interaction is one of deep connection, prayerful encouragement, and joy in shared faith experiences, setting the stage for a message grounded in spiritual reflection.

Section Two

The message pivots to Psalm 77:11–15, emphasizing the importance of remembering the deeds of the Lord and meditating on His miracles. The speaker underscores a common spiritual shortfall: forgetting what God has done. This forgetfulness is paralleled with the ancient Israelites who, despite witnessing miracles, quickly doubted and questioned God. The exhortation is for believers to flip over the works of God in their minds as one would flip a burger at a barbecue—constantly turning over God’s acts in thought to savor them more fully and to stay spiritually grounded and grateful.

Section Three

The idea of meditation is clarified not as a vague, mystical concept but as an intentional focus on what God has done in one's life. The speaker shares his own regret in not journaling God’s faithfulness for the first 40 years of his Christian walk. He now writes down as many memories as possible, recording God's interventions, protections, and answered prayers. This practice is described as deeply personal and spiritually enriching. By remembering the times God rescued and sustained us, we strengthen our faith and grow in awe of His involvement in every detail of our lives.

Section Four

The message concludes with several affirmations: never be ashamed of what God has done for you, recognize the power of your personal testimony, and understand that your experience has divine significance. Biblical support comes from Psalm 66:16 and John 4, both reinforcing that personal testimonies can lead others to believe. The speaker stresses that God’s unique work in each life is meant to be shared, not hidden. The act of testifying reinforces God’s work within us, encourages others, and brings glory to Him. The final encouragement is simple but potent: meditate, remember, and share.
