« Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? »
1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 From the very beginning the Word was with God.
3 Through Him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without Him.
The word ‘wonder could be rightly considered as an apt description of God.
Our God is full of wonders.
At creation we saw how God brought order out of a chaotic situation. The Bible says in Genesis 1:2-3NLT
« The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light »
The above Scripture gives assurance of peace to anyone who would come to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
In our memory verse today, we read that God is so magnificent that the entire heaven is His throne while, as large as the earth is, it is merely His footstool.
This is to tell us that no matter how big our challenges are, God is bigger than them all, as a songwriter affirms.
Another area of the wonders of God is found in our Bible text of today.
God is an eternal Personality playing different roles.
He is the Word with God and at the same time He is God.
In a nutshell, God is the Word and the Word is God.
The implication of this reality is that whoever trivializes the Word of God trivializes God Himself. Jesus Christ said in John 6:63 CEV
« The Spirit is the One who gives life! Human strength can do nothing. The words that I(Jesus) have spoken to you are from that life-giving Spirit »
Moreover, because the Word is powerful, if we abide in Him, our lives would be transformed and we would be Victorious.
The Centurion in Matthew 8:5-13 understood this and took advantage of his knowledge of this truth when he requested that Jesus Christ should merely speak the Word to his servant’s situation for healing. Matthew 8:8 NKJV
« The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed »
The God of wonders is alive to deal with your situation and give you pleasant wonders as we journey through year 2024.
Go ahead and praise the God of wonders right now.
Prayer focus – Father, please perform Your wonders in my life today, in Jesus’ name.
