Consider The Works Of God

Today's verse is Nehemiah 9:6

Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

We need from time to time to take stock, to inventory, to consider all the things that our God has done, both in our lives, and if we cannot see that, or even adding to that, throughout history. We need to recognize all that the Lord God of Heaven and Earth has done, all of his works, and remember too his motives, for when we examine his works, we also need to examine our own. For when we do this, we see that we did not deserve all of the mercies and grace that God has done, but he did them anyway. Those that are angry at God, try to appease themselves, even saying that God could not be all powerful and Good, because all they see is the evil in the world, which we, as they have created. But though God is all powerful, he is Good, and because he is Good, we have the opportunity to repent, and follow him. So see what God has done, and know that he will keep all of his promises to us. Amen

To God be the Glory
