Reflect and Review

Psalm 77:11-12

New International Version - UK

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.’

Welcome to the first of three days as we come together for ITFL 2026. It’s an opportunity for all of us to dedicate the first days of a new year to the Lord.

We begin with Reflect and Review - an opportunity to look back with thanksgiving over the past year. As the scripture above encourages us to ‘remember’, ‘consider’ and ‘meditate’

This is not to suggest that everything in this last year has been ‘good’, but we can still stop and give thanks that God has sustained you in the storm and has brought you through, or is bringing you through by faith.

When we pause to remember, it fuels the fires of faith within us that God who has been so faithful in the past will continue to be so.

Whatever we are facing today, or as we face the unknowns of the year ahead, as we ‘remember’, ‘consider’ and ‘meditate’ on who God is, what He has done and what He is capable of, our hearts can only be encouraged.

Of course, for this to work, you have to come with the understanding today that God is Good. That He has ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you’, that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

Let gratitude mould your prayers today - ‘It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord’ (Psalm 92:1 KJV)

As we Reflect and Review the Journey so far, allow faith to rise and your heart to be encouraged.
