To recollect is to recall something from memory. This is exceptional in times of despair or when we have allowed ourselves to worry and be fearful.
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Jeremiah is encouraging himself by bringing back to memory those times when God’s mercies overshadowed him and delivered him from the hand of the enemy (the enemy of the mind). He realizes that though times may be rough, they could be worse. He understands that our God moves in compassion toward His children each and every day. Jeremiah took the initiative to go beyond his feelings and what he saw physically to bring back to mind his God IS faithful and His mercies are new EVERY morning. Great IS thy faithfulness!
Let’s go beyond, beyond and recollect what He’s already done in order to expect what He’s going to do!
