What a List That Would Be!!!

"Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD?  Who can ever praise Him enough?"  Psalm 106:2 (NLT)

Go ahead!  Give it a shot!  Whether in your journal, on a piece of paper, or just in your mind, start making a list of the miracles of God.  Just close your eyes and ponder what that list would hold.

First of all, it's a miracle that He Is!  He is the great I AM!  He is the miracle of miracles!  God...the triune God...the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!!!  He is the creator...of all...of everything that we can even begin to imagine!  He holds time in His hands...and works outside of time.  He loves beyond our ability to fathom...so much that He would send His Son from the majesty of heaven to walk among sinful men...to die for them...and rise again, conquering the grave!!!  Miraculous love.

Work on your list.  Paper cannot hold them all...nor our minds.  Yet, we need to remember.  Sometimes we just need to recite the marvelous things He has done.  Miracles are not a thing of the past.  God continues to perform them day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.  The air that you breathe...the heart that beats inside you...the power of your brain.  Just keep recording.

And yes, then praise!  And praise Him some more.  It's true.  We can never praise Him enough.

LORD, don't let us lose the wonder of the miraculous God that You are!  We praise You...for who You are...for all You created...for Your unfailing, unfathomable love...for Jesus...Emmanuel!  Forgive us for forgetting and taking miracles for granted...for not trusting You in all situations.  Help us to remember.  May Your praise always be on our lips!  We love You.
