“Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does marvelous deeds.” NIV
Psalm 72:18 reveals that the Lord does marvelous deeds. To say that God alone does “marvelous deeds” does not mean that He is the only one to do marvelous deeds, but that He alone can do the marvelous deeds that He does. Let me share some of these deeds with you. The salvation that we have through faith in Jesus Christ is a marvelous deed of God. From the time of the fall in Genesis 3, God had a plan to save people through faith in Christ. That is why Jesus is referred to as “the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8) Our salvation was not dreamed up by a committee of religious leaders; it was born in the heart of God Himself. I cannot explain why that loved us enough to give His Son as a sacrifice for our sins, but I know that He did. That salvation that we have through faith in Christ is, indeed, marvelous. The Holy Spirit that indwells and leads us is a marvelous deed of God. Jesus told His disciples that He would send the “comforter” (Holy Spirit) to lead them into His truth after He ascended to the Father. (John 16:5-16) The Holy Spirit guides us in our Christian service. He enables us when we are weak and do not think victory is possible. It is the Holy Spirit who comforts us when we grieve. It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to the people and places to which we can go. I think you get the point by now that the Holy Spirit’s entrance into our lives is one of God’s marvelous deeds. The answers to our prayers are marvelous deeds of God. Prayer is one of the greatest blessings that I have in my life. It is such a comfort to know that I can go to God in prayer through the name of Jesus at anytime that I want. The same is true of you. If you are a believer in Christ, you have this wonderful opportunity. Do you really take advantage of this opportunity? Do not cheat yourself out of taking advantage this wonderful deed of God. Of course, this list of God’s marvelous deeds is incomplete, but these three deeds are uppermost in my minds at the present moment. Praise God for His marvelous deeds. Bro. Joe
