Song of My Heart – Week 3 (11-23-25)
THE SONG OF MY HEART
Remembering God’s Ḥesed
November 23, 2025
All of us have someone in our story who loved us when we didn’t deserve it…
THE ANCHOR: Hesed
Exodus 34:6-7
’The LORD, the LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in ḥesed and faithfulness.
ḥesed – Loyal love. Covenant love.
The love that refuses to quit, even when it breaks its heart to stay.
Psalm 103:8
“The LORD, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in ḥesed.”
Genesis 32:10
I am unworthy of all the hesed and faithfulness you have shown your servant.
Psalm 136
“His ḥesed endures forever”
THE HEARTBEAT: Remember
Psalm 103:2
“Bless the LORD, O my soul and forget not His benefits.”
zakar = “bring to mind in order to act”
When God remembers, He acts.
When we remember, we worship.
DON’T FORGET
Deut. 8:10–18 summarized
Sabbath
Tassels on garments —> spiritual sticky notes
Forgetfulness is the enemy of worship.
Memorization vs Remembering
Controlled Input + Repetition = Memorization
Controlled Input + Intentional Reflection = Remembering
Memorization fills your head
Remembering fills your heart
Input overload produces spiritual amnesia.
Forgetfulness is the enemy of worship.
Remembering is the soil of gratitude.
David remembers God’s:
- Goodness
- Forgiveness
- Compassion
- Mercy
- Redemption
