Understanding Leadership

I'm reading the book "Understanding Leadership" by Tom Marshall and thought this quote was applicable to the Power in Remembering blog.

It is at the extremeties of our strength that we run into God's strength...Past deliverance gives secure grounds for future hope. In the bad times, remember the good times. Paul is emphasizing the importance of recall - remembering our past experiences of God's faithfulness and intervening mercy. The prophets of Israel were always doing this. In the darkest days they rehearsed again and again God's saving acts. Remember how he delivered us from Egypt. Remember how he opened the Red Sea. Remember how he fed us on manna and brought water out of the rock. Remember. Remember.

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:21-23)
