In what ways can we recognize God's "wonders" in our personal experiences? Scripture Focus Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.” Why God’s Wonders Matter • This verse is a literal declaration: God actively performs real, observable wonders. • His wonders are not confined to biblical times; He continues to reveal His power in our lives today. • Recognizing them strengthens faith, fuels worship, and magnifies His glory (Psalm 145:5–6). Recognizing His Wonders in Personal Experience • Provision at the perfect moment – An unexpected job offer, timely financial help, or daily bread that arrives “just when you need it” (Philippians 4:19). • Physical or emotional healing – A medical turnaround that defies prognosis (Psalm 103:2–3). • Supernatural peace in crisis – The “peace of God” guarding heart and mind when circumstances say otherwise (Philippians 4:7). • Transformation of character – Addictions broken, bitterness turned to forgiveness, fear replaced by boldness (2 Corinthians 5:17). • Divine protection – Accidents averted, harm restrained, journeys made safely (Psalm 91:11–12). • Unmistakable guidance – Scripture illuminated, counsel confirmed, doors opened or closed exactly in line with prayer (Proverbs 3:5–6). • The new birth itself – A hardened heart awakened to repentance and faith—God’s greatest wonder (John 3:3–8). Practical Steps to Stay Attentive 1. Daily Scripture reading • God’s Word tunes the heart to notice His hand (Psalm 119:18). 2. Intentional remembrance • Keep a journal of answered prayers and significant moments (Joshua 4:6–7). 3. Verbal testimony • Share God’s works with family and church; testimony sharpens awareness (Psalm 105:1–2). 4. Cultivated gratitude • Thank Him aloud for small mercies; gratitude opens eyes to larger wonders (1 Thessalonians 5:18). 5. Prayerful expectation • Ask specifically to see His glory; He delights to reveal Himself (Exodus 33:18–19). Encouragement from Other Scriptures • Psalm 107:8–9 — His wonders satisfy the thirsty soul. • Job 37:14 — “Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.” • Mark 5:19 — Jesus urged the healed man to “tell how much the Lord has done.” • Ephesians 3:20 — He is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” Look for His wonders today; they are present, personal, and unmistakably His. |
