Wonderful: April 18, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY APRIL 18, 2016.
WONDERFUL

DEFINITION:

Excellent; grand; marvelous and extraordinary.
SCRIPTURE:

Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done. I Chronicles 16:12.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given us; and the government shall rest on His shoulders; and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God. Isaiah 9:6.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

When it comes to remembering all of the wonderful things God has done for us we tend to have short memories. We seldom take notice of all the ways God takes care of us day by day. Looking back through history we find this is nothing new.

God did miraculous things to deliver the Israelites from slavery under Pharaoh in Egypt. During the forty years they wandered in the desert God provided for them, giving them manna and quail to eat and even kept their clothes and sandals from wearing out. In spite of all the wonderful things they experienced and saw God do with their own eyes they did not always acknowledge God’s hand at work in their life.

Years later David as King of the Israelites remembered the history of the wonderful ways God had provided for the Israelites. The verse above from I Chronicles is from a prayer of thanksgiving and praise. In his prayer of thanksgiving David prays for the Children of Israel, to remember the great and wonderful works that God has done in their lives. He reminds them to look at the miracles that God has done getting them to the Promised Land. He also reminded them of the covenant promises God gave to Israel’s leaders that were fulfilled in Abraham, Moses, and Joshua. For all these things David reminds the Children of Israel and us today how wonderful and awesome God is.

In Isaiah 9:6 (above), Isaiah foretells the birth of Jesus and the reign of the Prince of Peace in one of the great verses in the Bible and gives Him four descriptive titles. Isaiah calls Him, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace. These represent God’s awesome attributes which we should never forget and never cease to be thankful for.

WONDERFUL COUNSELOR: He is most excellent, most extraordinary, without equal, who guides us in the right paths, and gives us the right advice.

MIGHTY GOD: He is the one and only God and is Almighty.

EVERLASTING FATHER: He is God our Father in heaven and is eternal.

PRINCE OF PEACE: His rule is one of justice and peace.

What a wonderful and awesome Savior as proclaimed to us many years before His birth.


LEARNING:

Our memory verse is found in James 4:17.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

PRAYER:

Thank You for being my Wonderful and Awesome Lord and Savior. Keep me thankful for the things You do for me day in and day out. Thank You for being my wonderful counselor, my almighty God, and my everlasting Father and bringing me peace in the midst of this troubled world.
