What past "wonders" of God can strengthen your faith today? Text to Treasure “I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.” (Psalm 77:11) Past Wonders to Recall • Creation spoken into existence from nothing (Genesis 1–2) • Worldwide Flood and Noah’s literal deliverance (Genesis 6–9) • Covenant confirmed by Isaac’s miraculous birth (Genesis 21) • Ten plagues and the first Passover (Exodus 7–12) • Red Sea opened and Israel crossed on dry ground (Exodus 14) • Manna each morning and water from the rock (Exodus 16–17) • Law given amid thunder and fire at Sinai (Exodus 19–20) • Jordan River stopped; Jericho’s walls collapsed (Joshua 3; 6) • Fire fell on Elijah’s altar at Carmel (1 Kings 18) • Daniel preserved in a den of real lions (Daniel 6) • Great fish swallowed and spared Jonah; Nineveh repented (Jonah 1–3) • Word became flesh—virgin birth of Jesus (Luke 1–2) • Blind received sight, storms obeyed, 5,000 fed (Gospels) • Lazarus raised after four days (John 11) • Cross and literal, bodily resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) • Spirit poured out at Pentecost, 3,000 saved (Acts 2) • Saul of Tarsus transformed into Paul the apostle (Acts 9) How These Wonders Fortify Faith Today • They confirm God’s power is boundless—nothing in your life is beyond His reach (Jeremiah 32:17). • They display His faithfulness to covenants, assuring you He will keep every promise (Hebrews 10:23). • They reveal His compassion; the God who fed Israel and the multitudes still cares for daily needs (Matthew 6:31-33). • They prove His sovereignty over nature, nations, and even death, so current events never threaten His plan (Psalm 46:10). • They culminate in the resurrection, anchoring hope that the same power will raise all who trust in Christ (Romans 8:11). Practical Ways to Live in Remembrance • Read a narrative passage each day, pausing to thank God for the specific wonder recorded. • Keep a personal “wonders journal,” noting biblical miracles alongside answered prayers in your own life. • Sing hymns and worship songs that recount God’s mighty acts (e.g., “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” “How Great Thou Art”). • Share a biblical wonder when encouraging friends, linking it to the challenge they face. • Memorize key verses (Psalm 105:5; Isaiah 46:9) to recite whenever doubt surfaces. |
