How does Psalm 77:14 connect with other biblical accounts of God's miracles? Psalm 77:14 – The God Who Works Wonders “You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.” Old Testament Snapshots of the Same Wonder-Working God • Exodus 14:21-22 – The Red Sea parts: “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all night the LORD drove the sea back… and the Israelites went through.” • Exodus 15:11 echoes Psalm 77:14 almost verbatim: “Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” • Deuteronomy 4:34 – God’s “trials, signs, wonders, and war” in Egypt are cited as evidence that He alone does the miraculous. • Joshua 3:13-17 – The Jordan River halts, reminding a new generation that the “God who works wonders” is still present. • Daniel 6:27 – After the lions’ den, the Babylonian king confesses, “He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth,” matching Asaph’s language. Miracles of Provision and Protection • Manna from heaven (Exodus 16:4-15) • Water from the rock (Exodus 17:6; Numbers 20:11) • Clothing and sandals that never wore out (Deuteronomy 8:4) Each event showcases divine strength “among the peoples,” fulfilling Psalm 77:14 in daily necessities, not just spectacular displays. Prophetic Power Plays • Mount Carmel showdown (1 Kings 18:37-39): fire falls, the people cry, “The LORD, He is God!” • Elisha multiplies loaves (2 Kings 4:42-44) and cures Naaman (2 Kings 5:14), previewing Christ’s own miracles. • Isaiah 38:7-8 – The sun’s shadow retreats, a cosmic sign that the God of Psalm 77:14 is not limited by nature. Christ: The Ultimate Revelation of Psalm 77:14 • John 2:11 – Turning water to wine: “He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.” • Matthew 4:23-24 – Healings of “every disease and sickness” validate His identity. • John 6:11-14 – Feeding five thousand, echoing Elisha yet on a grander scale. • Luke 7:22 – Blind see, lame walk, lepers cleansed, dead raised; Jesus Himself lists proofs that Psalm 77:14 is being fulfilled in real time. Miracles Carried into the Early Church • Acts 2:22 – Peter reminds Jerusalem of “Jesus the Nazarene, a Man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs.” • Acts 4:30 – The believers pray, “Stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders.” • Hebrews 2:4 – God testifies “by signs, wonders, and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit.” The Thread That Ties It All Together • Same God, same power, same purpose: to reveal His character and draw people to faith. • Psalm 77:14 functions as a summary statement for every era: Exodus, conquest, monarchy, exile, incarnation, church age—one seamless record of divine intervention. • Because these accounts are literal history, they ground present-day trust: what God has done, He can do again. |
