Episode 91: Worship & Remembrance As Emotional Recovery

God intends for His wonders to cause the people who worship Him to rest. When we live through hard things, we can experience emotional recovery through remembrance, and allow the experiences to produce confidence in God, rather than resentment towards Him and anxiety about what He may or may not allow us so live through. 

The primary exhortation of this episode is for us to worship God for who He is, regardless of when we are, even as we are aware of and sober-minded about the age in which we live; to remember what He has done; and to remember what He asks, encourages, and calls us to do.
