How Awesome Are Your Deeds

Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!  Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!  So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.  All the earth worships you and sings praises to you they sing praises to your name.” Selah

 

Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.  He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot.  There did we rejoice in him, who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 

 

Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.  For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.  You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

 

My dear Father and my God, “How awesome are your deeds!”  You have the power to speak things into being, can anyone else do such things?  It has been made clear to all who will read Your written Word, In Isaiah 45:5-6, we see this account; “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me, there is no God.  I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me  I am the Lord, and there is no other.”  

 

My Savior and Lord, my Father only Son, has spoken in the gospel of John 1:1-5, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.  In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”  Yes, Jesus was our Creator and yet so much more, our Redeemer, our God.

“Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.”  Are we so busy chasing after the little gods of this world, that we have forgotten what God has done?  I’m in need tonight, my blood pressure is on the high side and I was not able to sleep with this breathing machine, so I once more run to the one who is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.  

 

We live in a time where many do not know what God has done, and others who are evil and have no fear of God, and or rebellious exalt themselves.

 

As you read this, my prayer is you understand it is all God, He is the one who kept your feet from slipping.  He has tested us, and He has allowed us to experience many trials, yet come into what our Lord Jesus tells us in John 10:10, that He has come that we might have an abundant life.

 

He not talking about stuff, but joy, peace, and a relationship with the Father, who love you and me so much that He allowed His Son to pay the price for your sins.
