GOD OF WONDERS

Psalm 77:11-14 NCV

I remember what the Lord did;

I remember the miracles you did long ago.

I think about all the things you did

and consider your deeds.

God, your ways are holy.

No god is as great as our God.

You are the God who does miracles;

you have shown people your power.

Our God is the God of wonders and this photo has not been altered but is the way my friend sent it to me recently, taken from her garden. What a wonderful colour!

I wonder if you noticed what the psalmist said? - “I remember, I think about, I consider!” That’s a good idea for us each day! Instead of remembering all the bad things that may have happened or thinking about the negative experiences we may have had, or considering all the upsets, let’s take our eyes off them, turn it round and do as the psalmist says.

Remember what good things the Lord has done for us, even when He paints the sky a breathtaking pink!😊 We all have different stories to tell of the goodness of God in our own lives and we need to remember them and tell others how good He has been. Rehearse the blessings, not the bad things!

We need to think about how blessed we are to have God as our Saviour, to know He is merciful and full of loving kindness towards us. How He forgives us when we get it wrong, how He has given us His righteousness when we don’t deserve it. How He miraculously saved us and washed us clean when we asked Jesus into our lives, and didn’t deserve it either!

There is no God as great as our God! He is still working miracles in peoples’ lives because He is the same yesterday, today and forever and I’ve heard recent testimonies of the dead still being raised today which is wonderful.😊

With all the things we may have to think about, let’s take some time today ‘to remember, to think about, and to consider’ our God of Wonders and worship Him for all He has done and is doing for each one of us on a daily basis. In Jesus name. Amen.

GOD’S LOVE LETTER

Jeremiah 31:3 NLT Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

Now you may have, or had someone in your life, who you thought was wonderful, who you couldn’t do enough for because you love, or loved them so much. But no matter how wonderful they are or were, they cannot begin to compare to our God. His name is Wonderful because He is truly wonderful!😊 

There is no one, and never will be anyone like our God, who never makes a mistake, who knows the end from the beginning, who loves us with a love that makes every other love pale by comparison. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that kind of love because no one else loves us like our God does, who loved us to the Cross and back.

So whether or not you give or receive a Valentine card today, never forget we have already received God’s love letter to us which is far more precious because Jesus’ love for us cost Him everything.

When we read His Word we are reading His love letter. We read His love is forever, it’s constant, it’s greater than any other love we shall ever know and it’s not going anywhere. And when everyone else has left, God is still with us, loving us and holding us no matter what. 

He’s the God who rides across the heavens when we call (Deuteronomy 33:26-27), the one who is our refuge in times of trouble and distress, the one who holds us in the palm of His hand. Jesus loved us so much He sacrificed His own life so we could be reconciled to His Father.  

There is no love like the love of God for each one of us and we love Him because He first loved us. If you forget everything else as you go about your day, remember this - God Loves You and He is drawing you to Himself.❤️ Praise His wonderful name. 

Thank You Lord for loving us. Thank You for Jesus. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊
