What are examples of God's "wonders" you have witnessed personally? Opening Scripture “Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and Your thoughts toward us—none can compare with You—were I to proclaim and declare them, they are more than could be numbered.” (Psalm 40:5) Understanding God’s Wonders in Daily Life God’s wonders are not limited to Red-Sea partings and fire falling from heaven. Scripture teaches that the same sovereign hand actively works in our ordinary moments (Psalm 68:19; James 1:17). Recognizing them requires spiritual attentiveness and gratitude. Personal Examples of His Wonders • Provision at the Right Moment – When an unexpected medical bill arrived, the exact amount was anonymously placed in my church mailbox that Sunday. – Philippians 4:19 echoes this: “My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” • Healing Beyond Expectations – A friend diagnosed with stage-four lymphoma was declared cancer-free after the church fasted and prayed. The oncologist admitted, “This isn’t what usually happens.” – Psalm 103:2-3 reminds, “Bless the LORD… who heals all your diseases.” • Restoration of a Broken Relationship – Years of estrangement with a sibling ended when God convicted both of us separately on the same night to seek forgiveness. We called each other within minutes. – 2 Corinthians 5:18: “All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” • Daily Protection on the Road – After a tire burst at highway speed, the car coasted safely to the shoulder with no traffic nearby. – Psalm 91:11: “He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” • Guidance Through Scripture – While debating a significant career move, Proverbs 3:5-6 leapt off the page during morning devotions; later that day an unsolicited offer confirmed the direction. – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) Connecting My Experiences to Scripture 1. God’s wonders underscore His character—faithful, powerful, compassionate (Exodus 34:6). 2. Personal testimonies align with biblical patterns: • Provision (1 Kings 17:6) • Healing (Mark 5:34) • Reconciliation (Genesis 45:4-15) • Protection (Daniel 6:22) • Guidance (Acts 16:6-10) Encouragement for Your Own Reflection Keep a journal of answered prayers and unexpected mercies. Revisit Psalm 40:5 often. As you catalogue God’s interventions—big and small—you will cultivate awe and strengthen faith, joining the psalmist in declaring, “Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done.” |
