"God of Wonders"

"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) Where to begin; this is full of so much stuff, I seem to be at a lose for words. Why not start with how wonderful God is, and how wonderful He is towards us? What ever happen on the day, "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy", I am getting a certain feeling that it had something to do with us; which may or may not explain Lucifer's rebellion, because after all, it seems that he is seriously jealous of the relationship God has towards us. Being created the most beautiful can make one be filled with pride and vanity; then you add onto that, the darlings of God's creation, and you can have the makings of an all out war. That is what I believe that we are, God's darlings of all His creation; nothing else compares to us in His eyes, and He will do whatever it takes to win our hearts. Free will has a price, but it also has reward such as nothing else; kind of like that old saying, "If you love something, set it free"; except in this case, there happens to be a little twist, and it actually can get a little complicated trying to figure it all out. To help set the record straight, we can start with the four words, "O LORD my God", because those four words encompass the essence of where our understanding must come from; He is my God, and He has made me to love Him, and He has done everything else, and made every thing, that I should know I must love Him. Seriously, He has thought this through to the very last detail; there is nothing too small or too great that He has not put us into the plan of it, because we are so very special to His heart. Doesn't that make you want to shout for joy? or maybe at least tell someone that they are loved? Really, what came first, the fall or redemption? When David says, "they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee", is it because God knows the beginning and the end, therefore, He has established redemption from the beginning? I'm just saying... "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore, when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifices and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God. Above when He said, Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sin Thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said He, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:4-10)
