God’s Wonderful Deeds

DATE - February 23rd, 2022

TOPIC - God’s Wonderful Deeds

BIBLE TEXT - O Lord my God, you have done many miracles for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them. - Psalm 40:5



Remembering all the wonderful things God has done in our lives can produce so much gratefulness that we won’t be able to keep quiet about God’s goodness to us. We’ll spontaneously talk about his faithfulness and saving power to those around us (Psalm 40:10). But just as the Israelites quickly forgot the miracles God did for them when he delivered them from bondage in Egypt, we, too, can easily forget what God has done for us and begin to grumble and complain. 

We tend to forget answered prayers or other “little things.” But throughout the Scriptures, we see reminders to remember what God did. When we recall and recite God’s goodness to us and praise him for it, we gain renewed hope for the future because we realize that his plans—and blessings—are too numerous for us to list! 

Recount the ways God has worked in your life. You might want to write them down. Then on rough days, you can read them and see how God has worked. Praise him for all he has brought you through and for the wonderful deeds you have seen him accomplish.


PRAYER
OH, LORD, you have done many miracles for us. Thank you that your plans are bigger than all of us put together! How I praise you for your wonderful deeds! Help me to remember your goodness to me. Give me courage to talk to others about your faithfulness and saving power and to live my life in a way that would draw them to you.

INSIGHT
If you discern [God’s] love in every moment of happiness, you will multiply a thousandfold your capacity to fully enjoy your blessings.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...
