WONDERS OF GOD
Psalms is a very beautiful book. It speaks about the
wonders of God. Many names are given to God; one of the names is Wonderful.
God whom we serve is a wonderful God.
Isaiah- 9:6 says “For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.”..... His name shall be called Wonderful.
Psalm 139 speaks about the 4 qualities of God’s wonders.
Verses 1-6, speaks about the God’s
Knowledge being revealed to us.
Verses 7-12 speaks about the
wonders of God’s Presence.
Verses 13-18 speaks
about God’s Wonderful Power is being revealed to us.
Verses 19-24 speaks about the
wonders of God’s Judgement.
Firstly, we see ‘God’s Knowledge’
God’s wonder leads us to worship the Lord in spirit
and in truth. Our God is a God who dwelleth in the uttermost light, even the
midnight turns into light with God. Luke 2:14 says “And
they saw the light, and they could able to worship the Lord”. Also in
the scriptures, we come across wonderful things which the Lord has done. If we
read Matthew 14:15-20, we will know that the Lord has done
the wonder of feeding more than 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two
fishes. How those five loaves of bread and two fishes can be multiplied so that
more than 5000 people could be able to feed? It is because our God is a
wonderful God. And also He could able to change the ordinary thing into an
extraordinary one. In John Chapter 2 he turned the
water into best wine. So, our God is a wonderful God.
Most wonderful thing on the earth is when a sinner
turns into a saint. Many wonderful things God has done for us. In Psalm 139,
the first wonder of God’s knowledge is being revealed in verse 1 – 6. His
knowledge is infinite, Psalms 147:5 says “Great is
our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite”. So His
wonders towards us are great and His knowledge is indeed great one. Not, how we
think about God is something great, but how God thinks about us is indeed a
great thing. So, His thought regarding ourselves is great. He thinks about us
all the time that indeed is a great thing. Many at times we think that no one
is caring for us, none of them are helping us, but there is a Wonderful God,
who all the time is thinking about us. And also His works are powerful.
We know that he brings the dead ones into life.
In Mark 5:41, a young lad was dead, but He raised her up and
in Luke 7:14 a young man died and the Lord went and
touched the bier and said“Young man, I say unto thee arise, immediately
he rose from the dead”. In John 11:43 we know
that Lazarus was dead for 4 days, buried but he received the life back because
there is power in His word.
Even the words the Lord uttered on the cross are
powerful words. Luke 23:34 says, “Then
said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they
parted his raiment, and cast lots”. These are the wonderful words
filled with power. A worst sinner can become a saint in the eyes of God.
Provided if he truly repents of all his sins and confess before the Lord Jesus
Christ and ask Him to forgive his sins and to wash his sins in His blood. And
the curse which was on us has been removed and we have been given heavenly
blessings. Not only that, we have a hope that we are going to meet Lord Jesus
Christ face to face and we will be like Him. 1 John 3:2 says,
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is”. So His knowledge concerning us is that He
knows everything about us. He knows our thoughts, He knows our words, He knows
our innermost feelings of what is going on within us. So, He is a wonderful God
filled with infinite knowledge.
Secondly, the wonders of ‘God’s Presence’ is given to
us
Matthew 18:20 says “For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them”. His presence will be given to us when we come together in His
house and in His presence. Matthew 28:20 says “Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen”. In all our days, our
Lord will be with us. Hebrews 13:5 says “Let
your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as
ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”. Our
God is wonderful and His presence is always with us. Because God’s presence
will be with us we should be very careful of our words, our thoughts, our deeds
and our actions. And in the Bible we come across how God was with man. When the
young lad Ishmael was born, God was with him, God was with Abraham, God was
with Jacob, and God was with David so on and so forth.
And God’s presence for a believer will be given to
them. When we enjoy the presence of God what will be the benefit for us? We
will be comforted, and there will be peace given to us. Not only peace, there
will be joy, strength and encouragement to us. For all those who don’t have the
presence of God, the unbelievers, it will be a terrible and a fearful thing.
But praise God, as a believer, God has given us His presence.
Thirdly, we see the wonders of ‘God’s Power’
When a child is conceived in the mother’s womb, right
from the beginning we see the power of God is being manifested with the child.
He gives body, soul and spirit. It is indeed a wonderful thing, how the child
has been formed in the mother’s womb, also how the bone will grow is also a
wonderful thing. And more than all, from the mother’s womb God has chosen us.
That is a wonderful thing. Jeremiah 1: 5 says, “Before
I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations”.
When we see the beautiful creation of God we see behind it the wonders of God’s
power. Not only outward body but also power is seen in the inward body.
That is the wonders of God’s power. So, His thought towards us is a wonderful
thing.
Fourthly, we see the wonders of ‘ God’s Judgement’
For a believer, there is no judgement; there is no
condemnation because our judgement, our condemnation has come upon the Lord
Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. When we truly repented of our sins and
exercise the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and accept Him as our Lord
and saviour, we have been set free from the judgement, condemnation and from
the Eternal death and hell fire. That is a wonderful thing that God has
delivered us from judgement. But for an unbeliever, he has to stand before the
white throne of judgement seat, and they will be judged and they will be
condemned eternally. Scripture says, for them there will be the eternal hell
fire, but praise God, our God Lord Jesus Christ has delivered us from
that. Psalms 139: 22, 23 says “I hate them
with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know
my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:”
