Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. — Psalms 145:3-5 (NASB1995) “You’re kind and tenderhearted to those who don’t deserve it and very patient with people who fail you. Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness.” (Psalms 145:8 TPT) “You are the Lord who reigns over your never-ending kingdom through all the ages of time and eternity! You are faithful to fulfill every promise you’ve made. You manifest yourself as kindness in all you do.” (Psalms 145:13 TPT) “You draw near to those who call out to you, listening closely, especially when their hearts are true.” (Psalms 145:18 TPT) Let us draw near to Yahweh.

Nothing is too difficult

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” — Jeremiah 32:27 (NASB) It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding He stretched out the heavens. When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. (Jeremiah 51:15-16 NASB) He counts the stars and calls them all by name. (Psalm 147:4 NLT) He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. (Psalm 147:9 NLT) Our heavenly Father who raised Jesus from the dead, moves in our lives too. If you ever doubt God’s ability to handle your situation, just take a minute to ponder the greatness of our God and all the wonderful works He has done. Stop talking to God about your problem and start telling your problem about your mighty God!

God is Good!

Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. — Psalm 34:8 (MSG) Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8 NKJV)  The LORD is good and He does good. His plans for us are good. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalm 107:8 NJV) Trust God to work everything together for good in your life, no matter how things may appear at this moment in time. I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13 AMP)

He Calms the Storm

Image
Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! — Psalm 107:28-31 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father will be your calm in the midst of the storm. Keep your eyes on Him and not external circumstances. He will bring you through the storm and safely guide you to your desired haven. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (Isaiah 43:2 NLT)

Wonders without Number

Image
He does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number. — Job 9:10 (NKJV) God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered? (Job 9:4 NKJV) He alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea; (Job 9:8 NKJV) Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; there is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of your wonders, they would be too many to count. (Psalm 40:5 AMP) You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. (Psalm 77:14 NLT) The Message Bible says, He’s the God who makes things happen; (Psalm 77:14) If you need a miracle today, look to our great God. Nothing is too difficult for Him!

Great is His Goodness

Image
How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues. — Psalm 31:19-20 (NLT) The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. He fills the hungry soul with His goodness. (Psalm 107:9) Psalm 27:13 says, I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Surely His goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life; and you will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. (Psalm 23:6). Oh, give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalm 107:15)

Wrapped in His Goodness!

And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. — Luke 24:52-53 (NKJV)  Let us worship the Lord with great joy. God in His extravagant goodness, grace and mercy has done wonderful works in our lives. O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name! O my soul, bless God, don’t forget a single blessing! He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence. (Psalm 103:1-5 MSG). We are wrapped in His goodness! Praise the Lord!

Be Still

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (NLT) Be still, and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10). The whole earth declares His wonderful works. He laid the foundation of the earth, and stretched out the heavens like a curtain. He set set a boundary for the waters and appointed the moon for seasons. Even the sun knows when to rise and when to go down. Surely, the LORD is able to take care of all that concerns you. Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; (Psalm 37:34a NKJV).

No Secret

Image
Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. — Mark 7:24 (NIV) Jesus is Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us (Matthew 1:23). His presence is not meant to be a secret. His presence destroys yokes and breaks bondages. He sets captives free. Tell others what He has done for you. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. (Revelation 12:11). Because we have His light in us, we are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14 NLT). Come out of hiding and declare the wonderful works He has done in your life.

Give Attention to God

Image
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. — Matthew 6:34 (MSG) Instead of dreading what may come in the future, put your attention on all the great works which the LORD is doing in your midst today. Do not be anxious about anything, but put your trust in God. The goodness of God endures continually (Psalm 52:1 NKJV). Give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalm 107:31)  Remain in His peace, the LORD will perfect that which concerns you. Amen!

Good & Kind

You are good and kind and do good; teach me Your statutes. — Psalm 119:68 (AMP) The Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting (Psalm 100:5 AMP). Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalm 107:21). He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. He redeems us from death and crowns us with love and tender mercies. He fills our lives with good things (Psalm 103:3-5). Let us, like our heavenly Father, do good and practice kindness.

Constant Peace

Image
You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. — Isaiah 26:3 (AMP) We can have perfect and constant peace as we center our thoughts on the LORD (not our problems). Think about His faithfulness, His goodness and His mighty power. Stay mindful of our awesome God, and all the wonderful works He has done in our midst. May we be fully committed to the LORD and be completely confident that He is able to take care of everything that concerns us.
