Family Churchman Deuteronomy 10:21 He is your praise, and he is your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen. I. IN WHAT THE GREAT DEEDS OF GOD CONSIST. 1. In Salvation. God, who delivered Israel from the bondage of Egypt, has wrought a great work of deliverance on behalf of the human race. Greater than any deed of vengeance is the Divine interposition by which mankind is saved from the penalty and the curse of sin. 2. In the supply of all wants. The Lord, who gave Israel bread from heaven and water from the flint rock, has made, in the dispensation of His grace, a sufficient supply for the spiritual needs of all mankind. 3. In protection and deliverance from all dangers, and from the assaults of every foe. II. BY WHAT THE GREAT DEEDS OF GOD ARE PROMPTED. 1. By the spectacle of the need, the misery, the helplessness of men. 2. By the pity and loving kindness of the Infinite Heart. III. TO WHAT THE GREAT DEEDS OF GOD SHOULD LEAD THOSE WHO PROFIT BY THEM. 1. To gratitude and praise. "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." "Bless the Lord, O my soul." 2. To cheerful obedience. The memory of Divine favours should not only awaken gladness; it should remind us of God's claims upon us, upon our love, our life, our all. (Family Churchman.)
