I was planning to blog this quotation even before Vince used it at church this morning. It’s from D.A. Carson’s For the Love of God, Vol. 1, May 22 entry:

One of the important functions of corporate worship is recital, that is, a “re-telling” of the wonderful things that God has done… Thus the recital of what God has done is a means of grace to bring God near to his people. Believers who spend no time reviewing and pondering in their minds what God has done… should not be surprised if they rarely sense that God is near. Retell God’s wonderful deeds and bring near his name.

What has God done for you, that you’re grateful for? Let’s recite and re-tell the stories, so that we can be more aware of God’s nearness and give God thanks for who he is and what he’s done.
