Will you pause with me to remember God’s wondrous works?
On your wondrous works, I will meditate. Psalm 145:5
Wondrously Working Lord,
How often do we pause,
do we really chew on,
the millions of ways,
seen and unseen,
you work in this world,
in our neighborhood,
in our lives?
For a few moments,
let’s consider your wondrous works:
You’ve drawn us to yourself
even when we were wandering around like the spiritual zombies we were.
You’ve loved us every day, all the time,
even when we hated you.
You’ve given us new life
even when we deserved certain death,
You’ve kept your promises to us
even when we broke every promise we ever made to you,
You’ve shown us limitless patience
even when we threw tantrums of impatience with you.
You’ve lavished us with the gifts we needed
even when we demanded the things we wanted when we wanted them.
[List some of the specific wondrous works God has done in your life].
Oh, Lord, may we break our eyes away
from the seductive screen
and look out, look up, look in,
to see your stunning beauty and your baffling kindness!
In Jesus’ gracious name. Amen.
Read Psalm 145.
