During 2025, Peachtree Church is focusing on the Book of Psalms with a series called Dwell, through which we seek to deepen our conversation with God and open ourselves to hearing his response. The practice of praying three times each day will unite the voices of our hearts and souls as we seek the day when we will see the full realization of the Kingdom of God, promised in Revelation 21:3: “…Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”
We will email devotionals twice weekly with Monday’s providing an overview of the Psalm as a whole, and Wednesday’s focused on that week’s Daily Dwell.
In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.Show me your ways, Lord,
Psalm 25:1-7
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.
Devotional
What does it mean for God to remember us? In Psalm 25, David pleads: “Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love… Do not remember the sins of my youth… according to your love remember me.” He’s asking not only to be seen in his present pain but also to be held in God’s steady, faithful memory.
Memory is powerful. It brings back taste, touch, and emotions—sometimes in waves, sometimes in flashes. The older I get, the more some things fade into blur, while others stand out with lightning clarity. David is asking God to have that kind of clarity with him. And God does.
Even when we feel forgotten, we are vivid to God. His memory doesn’t flicker the way ours does. This is why the cross matters so deeply—it stands with lightning rod clarity in every season. It holds us steady in the blur.
If God remembers us this way—with constancy and mercy—how can we learn to remember him in a similar manner? We’re invited to build rhythms of faith that reawaken us to his presence: opening Scripture, receiving communion, living in community, pausing to pray.
God is constant with us. Let’s ask him to help us become more constant with him.
For Reflection
- When do you struggle to remember God? Why?
- What are some rhythms that you can put in place this week to draw yourself back to the clarity of the cross?
Prayer
Lord, we thank you for always remembering us. Help us to remember you in more than moments this week. Guide us to the lightning rod clarity of your love. Amen.
