The word ‘wonderful’ primarily means “very good”, but can also mean “astonishing”. Psalm 106, 107, and 133 are beautiful reflections of God’s wonderful works. Despite some of those works being consequences of rebelling against God, and certainly not our definition of “good”, there is no denying they are still wonderful in the sense of the astonishing, awe-inspiring, power God displayed in these moments.

All people were created by the omnipotent God, whether or not they acknowledge Him. All people experience God’s wonderful works, whether or not they know those works are done by God alone. In our world today, there are plenty of people that either do not know or choose to deny God’s power. But that lack of understanding does not change the undeniable truth that God is the Almighty, and that someday, every knee will bow in acknowledgment of Him. And oh what a glorious day that will be!

Until then, as Christians, we should be remembering God’s wonderful works, and sharing them with others regularly. We should praise the doer of these works, giving thanks and announcing them with shouts of joy (107:22)! Our God is truly an awesome God, and worthy of all praise and recognition. In our day to day, it can be challenging at times to pause and reflect on how God is working in the world and in our life, but it can make so much of a difference in our day when we simply say, “Thank You, awesome God.”.
