What Has God Done for You Lately? {Memorize Isaiah 12:5}

This is Week 5 of our 6-week memory challenge to learn Isaiah 12 during Lent.

MEMORIZE

Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.
Isaiah 12:5

TO CONSIDER

If you’re old enough (or if you listen to oldies), you may remember this Janet Jacket song, “What Have You Done for Me Lately?” from 1985.

The video starts with Janet and a friend talking about Janet’s boyfriend.

Janet: “He does a lot of nice things for me.”

Friend: “I know he used to do nice stuff for you, but what he has done for you lately?”

It’s a question we can ask ourselves this week, too, as we meditate on Isaiah’s words for our memory verse.

What has God done for you lately?

If you can’t think of anything, maybe it’s time to pay closer attention.

As we enter our 5th week of Lent, we’re coming upon Jesus’s grand welcome into Jerusalem riding a donkey.

Many there had likely heard of a lot of “nice things” that Jesus had done for people in the region. But we know how the story goes: the crowd will turn against him soon. They will forget the good things He had done.

Let’s not forget what He has done and continues to do for us.

Let’s make it known this week.
