Retrieval Practice

Bible in a Year :

• Proverbs 13-15
• 2 Corinthians 5

Remember the Sabbath day.

Exodus 20:8 Have you ever been in the middle of telling a story and then stopped, stuck on a detail like a name or date you couldn’t recall? We often chalk it up to age, believing that memory fades with time. But recent studies no longer support that view. In fact, they indicate our memory isn’t the problem; it’s our ability to retrieve those memories. Without a regular rehearsal of some kind, memories become harder to access.

One of the ways to improve that retrieval ability is by regularly scheduled actions or experiences of recalling a certain memory. Our Creator God knew this, so He instructed the children of Israel to set aside one day a week for worship and rest. In addition to the physical rest that comes from such a respite, we gain an opportunity for mental training, to recall that “in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them” (Exodus 20:11). It helps us to remember there is a God, and it’s not us.   

In the rush of our lives, we sometimes lose our grip on the memories of what God has done for us and for others. We forget who keeps close watch over our lives and who promises His presence when we feel overwhelmed and alone. A break from our routine provides an opportunity for that needed “retrieval practice”—an intentional decision to stop and remember our God and “forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2).

Reflect & Pray

What tempts you to skip rest? How can taking time to rest draw you closer to God?

Dear God, please remember me and give me the wisdom to stop and remember You as well.

May I meet who You want me to meet.
Let me say what You want me to say
And keep me out of Your way.”

When I was in Ny in the seventies I found those buildings terrifying to look at, while everyone else was so proud of them.

Every year now I watch or read something about 911, and then it becomes that I can’t tear myself away. I watch videos, read posts, articles, stories for the next few days, horrified, saddened, and feel survivors guilt for those people.

Though I was never there when it happened.
