Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Sing to him, yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. – 1 Chronicle 16:8-9 (NLT)
GOD’S WONDROUS DEEDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
What has God done to you lately?
Has he made you peaceful and healthy?
What has He blessed you with today?
Did you feel His love as you look at the sun’s rays?
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness
Tell everyone about his wondrous deeds and faithfulness
Let the whole world know how he has transformed you
Give him praise and your heart will be renewed.
Do you remember your first love? You were so excited about the person’s character and how he or she made you feel. You almost want to shout to the world what a great person he or she is. You can’t stop talking about your beloved. If we can be so full of joy and excitement about the people we love, how much more should we proclaim God’s wondrous deeds?
The bible tells us that we ought to give thanks to the Lord and announce his greatness to the whole word. We need to sing praises to him and talk about his wonderful deeds. We bring glory to the only one who so deserves it when we give him praise.
PRAYER
Thank you for your majesty, Lord.
REFLECTION
How often do you tell others what God has done for you?
