Reflections is “How God is Amazing!” February 25, 2025.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you. And be gracious to you; The Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26. You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is the fullness of joy; In Your right hand, there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11.
Psalms recounts the wonderful deeds the Lord has accomplished. Among His most wondrous achievements is the act of redemption. When we say that God is a God of wonders, we mean that He is a God who carries out miraculous works. The Lord’s wonders declare His absolute control over events, people, and powers, and reveal His presence among His people. These things and happening gives glory to God. He is in control of our lives.
Jesus was tempted by Satan, who knew Jesus was hungry. “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Jesus answered, It is written, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:3-4.
How often man listens to the tempter and speaks deceitfully. God must punish His children for this is why Jesus gave his life for us. Jesus and His Father knew such deep love for us.
Teach me Your way, Lord, And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies. Do not turn me over to the desire of my enemies, For false witnesses have risen against me, I certainly believed that I would see Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:11-14. Are we ready to humbly serve God for His Sake? Or is it for His? Can we wait on the Lord?
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing but will raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life,
Your mercy, Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. Lord, You protect mankind and animals. How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; For the fountain of life is with You. Psalm 36:5-9.-8
Your mercy, Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. Lord, You protect mankind and animals. How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house, And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights. For the fountain of life is with You; In Your light we see light. Psalm 89:1-4.
I sought the Lord and He answered me, He rescued me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed., Taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:4-5, 8
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity. Lord of armies, Blessed is the person who trusts in You! Psalm 84:11-12.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the Lord. How blessed is the man who becomes involved in falsehood? Many, Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is no one to compare with You. Psalm 40:3-5. God placed a song of praise of Jesus because He is Amazing! There is no One like Jesus. No one with such Love, and no one who can teach about God’s Love that surrounds us like Jesus.
The awesomeness when I see lofty tree limbs by a rippling river with a huge mountain in the distance and my heart beats faster, And an evening sunset makes me know with amazement, there is no one like Jesus. No one can be compared with the loveliness of our Lord and when I see a new color in a flower, I want to see the colors in Heaven.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose mind is stayed on Thee, because they trust in You.” Isaiah 26:3.
