wondrous things
Today as I was reading through Psalm 72 while enjoying the cool morning from our patio, verses 18-19 really jumped out. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
While thinking about them, I took a bite from the tip of a big, sweet, juicy strawberry we got at a fruit stand. It was delicious.
The phrase “wondrous things” brought my mind first to Calvary where my Savior gave His life, that I may have life. The most amazing thing of all! But then, I thought about all the seemingly ‘little things” that He does & gives which are wondrous too- juicy strawberries, the sparkling formations in a remote cave we saw last week, cool breezes in the summer… and the list could go on and on. The Lord God is indeed the only One who does wondrous things. What a daily example of His grace and love that He created so many sights, smells, sounds, and tastes for us to enjoy, experience, and savor.
I obviously enjoy sweet strawberries in the summer time and display that fact to others through my smile, words of delight, and the way in which I always go back for more. Is my Heavenly Father as easily visible through my words, delight, time, and joy-filled demeanor? Is He displayed as glorious and the most enjoyed One in my life?
