Dwell
Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. (Ps. 111:2)
One need not go far to study the works of the Lord. His majestic works are displayed all around us; in the heavens, the earth, and the oceans. But the greatest miracles to behold are those that He has wrought in us! What God will do in a human heart testifies of His goodness and mercy. I need to constantly remind myself of all that He has done within me. I may study the works of His fingers in creation, I may look into the heavens and wonder at His power, I may watch the moon and the stars and be amazed by His beauty, but the greatest miracle is when God touches the human heart and draws it in love to Jesus.
I study the faithfulness of God in my life because it reminds me that I am in His thoughts day and night. If I ever forget what He has done in my life, then my perspective and vision are off. If I don’t remember what God has done in me, I can easily forget the hope of my calling. The temptation is to focus on my present circumstances instead of God’s promises. The testimonies we have need to be held in awestruck remembrance and unending gratitude. My focus needs to be on what has been promised, and my faith rooted in what God has done.
