GOD OF WONDERS!!

It is evident that we serve a God of wonders when we look at Abraham’s story. An old man who was told to leave his father’s place and settle in the land of Canaan, he is given a promise that he will become a father of nations having surpassed child bearing age. At his age he leaves with his family to the great land and the lord immensely blesses him with wealth and riches.

He was told that he would become a father of many nations, kings would come from him and that his descendants would become as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Sarah found it hard to understand God’s promise at that point; the promise made her wonder and even laugh at herself. She couldn’t imagine herself carrying a baby and nursing at her old age.But Abraham just believed the promise and waited for that wonder. Note, during Abraham’s time nobody had ever gotten a child in their old age. It was unheard of and so for Abraham to believe it, it just took the hand of God. It was great faith. That is why it was credited to him as righteousness. At the appointed time Sarah conceived and gave birth to Isaac at their old age.  The son that brought much joy to them.

When the Israelite's left  Egypt they came at the Red sea and God performed a wonder; the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind and turned the seabed into dry land. The Israelite's went into the middle of the sea on dry land. But when the Egyptians pursued them he clogged their chariots wheels making it hard to drive the chariots. The Lord overthrew them and tossed them into the midst of the sea.

God caused food to fall like rain from the sky for the Israelite's. In the evening quail came and covered the camp and in the morning dew lay around the camp. When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost were on the desert ground. So the Lord rained down bread in the morning and at twilight meat for them to eat. What a Wonder God!

He also provided for them water to drink at Mt. Sinai by ordering  Moses to strike a rock with the same staff he used at the Red sea and water came out. He brought water out of a rock for the Israelite's to quench their thirst.

Looking at all this Awesome Manifestations of God’s works; one can’t help but marvel! If you are in a situation whereby you need to see the mighty manifestations of God’s wonders just like Abraham believed that’s all you have to do.

Who can bring forth water out of a rock? Who can rain down food from the sky? But God! Who can make a way through a sea? But God! Who can give Abraham and Sarah a child at an old age? But our wonder working God!! Have unshakable Faith!!
