"God of Wonders" -2

"Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." (Psalms 40:5) If you think that David is making this up, you really need to understand that He was seriously under the direction of the Holy Spirit at this point, and he was probably catching visions of things so complex, he could hardly speak of them, let alone count how many layers that there was in the onion being pealed. The next three verse of this Psalm happen to be those found in Hebrews 10:5-7 which were what I closed with yesterday; as Jesus said in John 5:39, "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me"; so to was the vision that David was getting, as everything seemed to point towards Jesus and God's redemption of mankind from the foundations of the world. On a completely different scale, we could only imagine what David might have written if he had the technology to see what we see now; telescopes that explore the heavens, and magnification of things beyond belief; it is hard to believe that God went through so much trouble to make this for us to see His handiwork in all of creation. There is absolutely no doubt of God's existence in all of this, yet there are those that refuse to accept it, and continue to deny that there is One which shall judge them one day; mostly for fear of what that might mean. But if they could only come to understand what God has done for that judgment, in that He has placed it upon Himself. Which reminds me of this fascinating thing about God's judgment being placed upon Himself, because if you look at the 'token' of the covenant that God made with Noah after the flood, it was 'His bow in the cloud'; which in many cases, the bow stands for judgment; yet where is that bow pointed, it is pointed towards God; because the very next time that God would be dealing with the sins of the whole earth, it would be on the cross. Wow, how good is God? How wonderful are His works that He has done for us? They just cannot be numbered... "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." (John 21:25)
