How can acknowledging God's "wonders" strengthen our faith during trials? Verse Spotlight – Psalm 77:11 “I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.” Why “Wonders” Matter When Life Hurts • God’s wonders are tangible, historical acts—real evidence that He intervenes. • Remembering them shifts our gaze from present pain to His proven power. • They remind us that the God who acted then is unchanged today (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). Four Faith-Strengthening Benefits of Acknowledging God’s Wonders • Perspective reset – Trials shrink in comparison to a Red Sea parted (Exodus 14) or a stone rolled away (Luke 24:1-6). • Renewed confidence in God’s character – Each wonder showcases His faithfulness, justice, and mercy (Psalm 105:1-5). • Courage to wait – If He once fed Israel with manna (Exodus 16), He can sustain you while answers delay. • Invitation to praise instead of panic – Praise turns anguish into assurance (Acts 16:25-26). Practical Ways to Keep His Wonders Front and Center • Read Scripture aloud—focus on miracle passages (Joshua 3-4; 1 Kings 18; Daniel 6). • Keep a personal “Ebenezer” journal: record modern-day answers to prayer (1 Samuel 7:12). • Sing songs that recount God’s mighty acts (Psalm 145:4-6). • Share testimonies with others; borrowed faith fuels personal faith (Revelation 12:11). Additional Scriptures that Echo the Theme • Psalm 105:5 – “Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced.” • Isaiah 46:9 – “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other.” • John 20:31 – “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ… and by believing you may have life in His name.” Live It Out Today Make deliberate space—morning, midday, and night—to recount at least one specific wonder of God. The same hand that opened prison doors for Peter (Acts 12:7-10) still holds you. Let that truth steady your heart until the trial gives way to triumph. |
