The God Who Does Wonders

The God Who Does Wonders

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Psalm 77:14

We reverence God for Who He is. We contemplate His Attributes and rejoice that He ‘is a Spirit, infinite eternal and unchangeable in His Being, Wisdom, Power, Holiness, Justice, Goodness, and Truth.’ Beyond that, we contemplate what God does. We behold creation and, ‘the heavens declare the glory of God.’ We see the world all around us, and even after the curse, it still retains such breathtaking beauty, that we are perpetually awed by it. More wonderful than all these natural wonders are the things which God has done, and yet does for us personally. His revelation of Himself to us, in His Word, and more specifically, His revelation to us of Christ, the Living Word, expands both our minds and our hearts to far beyond their ‘normal’ capacity. What is most remarkable is that as we contemplate all these things, and most specifically dwell upon the Person of Christ, the wonders never cease. Shower upon shower of blessings rain down upon our dry and thirsty souls day after day, and cause ‘the desert to rejoice and blossom like the rose.’ We say with the old inventor, ‘What hath God wrought?’ As we pass through the course of this day, let us seek the Lord that He would open our eyes and our hearts to behold more clearly the wonder of His works, most specifically in the Face of Jesus Christ. Like the Greeks of old, our cry is, ‘Sirs, we would see Jesus.’

Our most Gracious, Wonder-working God,
we stand amazed in Your Presence, we glorify You,
for all the grand demonstrations of your Omnipotence.
We magnify You most,
for how You show us Your Wonders in the Person of Jesus Christ.
