⁵God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

Devotional Reflection

Isn't that a lovely sentence? "God's voice thunders in amazing ways, and He does great things that are hard for us to understand." Let's praise God in prayer instead of spending a lot of time talking or thinking about how great He is.

Prayer

God is holy, just, and eternal. Only You are truly and completely holy. I love You, but I am unable to understand the far reaches of Your ways. Even on my best days, You are so superior to me that I find it difficult to comprehend why You would incur such expense to save someone like me. But, dear God, I give You my heartfelt thanks and praise. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

How does God help us figure out what He wants? God has clearly given us the Bible and the Holy Spirit so that we can understand the Bible. What about ways that are more subtle and less clear? Most of us have experienced a "cluster of divine coincidences," which is a series of events that happen close together after we pray. For example, a friend calls or writes at just the right time; we read an article or listen to a sermon that has a comment or two about our concern or confusion; several songs in worship convict us in the area where we are seeking the Lord's guidance; or we simply feel a tug on our conscience that helps us figure out what is right and what is wrong. God means it when He says He'll give us wisdom if we pray for it without doubting, and if we really look for Him, we'll find Him. His voice thunders in amazing ways.

Prayer

Holy God, please help me figure out what You want me to do about some big things in my life. I don't want to make choices based on how smart I am as a person. Please use Your Spirit to guide me in the way You want me to go, and use me to bring You praise and glory. Thank You for caring enough about my life to show me where to go. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

Prayer

God, Holy, Righteous, and Eternal! You are the only one who is totally and completely holy. I can only guess at the fringes of Your ways, yet I adore You. You are so far ahead of me on my best days that I don't understand why You would go to such lengths to redeem someone like me. But, dear God, I thank and worship You from the depths of my being. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
