Countless Wonders Psalm 40-5 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Psalm 40, verse 5. It says,
• 0:04
  Many, Lord my God, are the wonders which you
• 0:07
  have made, and your thoughts toward us there
• 0:09
  is no one to compare with you. If I would declare
• 0:12
  and speak of them, they would be too numerous
• 0:15
  to count. The truth is, God has made wondrous
• 0:19
  things, beginning with all creation, and people,
• 0:23
  and purposeful creation, purposeful people. We
• 0:26
  have had God's blessing from the very beginning,
• 0:29
  and yet people have screwed it up. We tend to
• 0:32
  forget this great body of knowledge that includes
• 0:34
  the wonders of God's creation. Moreover, we begin
• 0:38
  to think that someone or something else can compare
• 0:40
  with God, and that's not the case, if in no other
• 0:43
  way than the fact that literally nothing else
• 0:46
  was made except that which He made, and He made
• 0:49
  it out of nothing. He is God, and He alone. There's
• 0:52
  an old poem. I didn't write it, and it's not
• 0:55
  from Scripture, and it says this. If all the
• 0:58
  skies were parchment made, and every man a scribe
• 1:01
  by trade, if every reed were turned to a pen,
• 1:05
  and every drop of sea were ink for men, it would
• 1:09
  not suffice to write the whole, the endless wonders
• 1:12
  of the Lord's control. to pen the grace that
• 1:15
  falls from above, or some the breadth of the
• 1:18
  Creator's love. God loves you today, and He's
• 1:21
  done wonderful and amazing things, and we should
• 1:23
  give Him glory for all that He is and all that
• 1:25
  He does.
