majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 77:11,
"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your
miracles of long ago."
As Asaph speaks of his distress and of his crying out to the Lord he
tells himself he will appeal to the wonderful things the Lord has
done. As he does so he recalls the Lord's miracles and mighty deeds.
He reflects on the ways of God as holy, displaying his power among the
peoples. He recalls the deliverance of Israel from Egypt with its
attendant miracles, the waters writhing and convulsing, the clouds
pouring water, the resounding of thunder and the lightning flashing.
"Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the
world; the earth trembled and quaked." Verse 18.
As believers today, we have all of these things to reflect on as well
as so much more. When Jesus Christ came as the Son of God, he
performed many miracles. He taught us about being born again and how
much our Heavenly Father loves us. We have his sacrificial death on
the cross to meditate on as an expression of his great love for us. We
have his resurrection and ascension into heaven as events that
authenticate the efficacy of his sacrifice for us and the truthfulness
of all he did and taught us.
As Asaph says in verse 13, "Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so
great as our God?"
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
