Take a look back at the days when you were younger and the school teacher said “There will be an exam in just a few days.” When you heard this you knew it was time to review everything that you had covered.

But when he said it was time for the exam, it was time to stop and take a good, thorough review of everything that you had gone over. You had to try to remember everything, put it in its proper place, and know how to use it for your benefit.

You know the Bible is full of reviews, and sometimes I think God wants us to just stop and review. If we look back in the Old Testament, we find in Exodus 15 that Moses did a great job of reviewing. Just after God had brought Israel safely through the Red Sea and had destroyed their enemies behind them.

In the first verse of Exodus chapter 15 we read that Moses and the people of Israel sang a song out to God. The song that they sang is basically a review of all the wonderful things that God had done for the people of Israel. He had protected them and blessed them in many ways. He saved them from their enemies, destroyed those enemies, and protected them in the wilderness.

Although Moses took the time to review what God had done for his people, he wasn’t alone. There are many Psalms that review the great things that God did for Israel throughout many difficult and trying times. One that stands out is Psalm 18 where David writes that God is his strength.

We can also look in the New Testament. In Hebrews chapter eleven there is a review not only of what God has done but of the faith of many people found in the Old Testament. It talks about faith as the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. The chapter continues then to speak of the faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah and Abraham.

Reviews of what God has done can be a great way to appreciate the things He has done and to praise Him. Take time in your own life to look back and reflect how God has taken care of you and led you to where you are. Count the blessings in your life that exist because of what God has done for you.
