“The Wondrous Works Of God”
“Hear this, O Job; stop and consider
the wondrous works of God. Do you know how God lays his command upon them, and
causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? Do you know the balancings of the
clouds, the wondrous works of the one whose knowledge is perfect, you whose
garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? Can you,
like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? Teach us what we shall
say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness….”
Have you ever wondered why God made a
particular creature, like mosquitoes or snakes, or even poison ivy? What can we
learn from each? Not only in nature, but also in our lives there are invisible
forces at work. There is the silent and unseen work of prayer by those who are concerned about our well-being. There is the
work of our own spiritual discipline, as we pray and meditate on God’s Word.
In our lives and in our world, God has
ordained unseen influences that bear fruit. Whether it is a mosquito or poison
ivy, or the crown of God’s creation – the human race – there is so much more at
work than meets the eye.
God’s unseen
work in our hearts produces fruit in our lives.
