Connect Psalm 136:4 with another Bible verse about God's miraculous works. Psalm 136:4—A Snapshot of God’s Wonder-Working Nature “He alone does great wonders. His loving devotion endures forever.” Another Lens on the Same Truth—Psalm 77:14 “You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.” How These Two Passages Interlock • Psalm 136:4 spotlights God as the exclusive source of “great wonders,” immediately linking His miraculous acts to His enduring covenant love. • Psalm 77:14 echoes the same theme, emphasizing that God’s wonders are not hidden; they are displayed “among the peoples,” proving His power publicly. • Taken together, the verses remind us that every miracle—whether in creation, history, or personal experience—is a demonstration of both His limitless power and His steadfast, loyal love. Tracing the Pattern of Wonders in Scripture • Creation itself (Genesis 1; Psalm 33:6-9) – The first “great wonder,” carried out by God’s spoken word. • The Exodus (Exodus 15:11) – “Who is like You, O LORD … performing glorious deeds?” The Red Sea crossing stands as a hallmark of corporate deliverance. • Preservation in the wilderness (Nehemiah 9:19-21) – Daily manna, water from rock, unfailing clothes testify to ongoing wonders rooted in covenant faithfulness. • Resurrection of Christ (Acts 2:22-24) – Peter calls Jesus a Man “accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs,” climaxing in the empty tomb. • Our new birth (2 Corinthians 5:17) – The miracle moves from history’s stage to the believer’s heart: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” Responding to the God of Wonders • Remember – Rehearse His past acts; let Psalm 136’s refrain (“His loving devotion endures forever”) shape your gratitude. • Trust – Present trials bow to the same power that parted seas and raised the dead (Jeremiah 32:17). • Proclaim – Like the psalmists, share His wonders “among the peoples,” turning personal testimony into public praise (Psalm 145:6). |
