🌿 Many, O Lord My God, Are Your Wonders – Psalm 40:5
“Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; there is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count.” — Psalm 40:5
Today's verse is truly awesome. Yesterday, it seemed as though the Psalmist had paused and started another topic altogether. But today, he goes back to where he began—his testimony from the first three verses. He continues to praise the Lord.
He speaks of many things, which we can group into two.
First: Many Are the Wonders Which You Have Done
In the Hebrew language, wonder is mowpheth—which means a sign or a miracle. So the Psalmist is saying: many are the signs or miracles the Lord has done.
He is talking about: The beauty of creation. The great love of God. The great provision He has given. The sovereign protection of the Lord
David particularly experienced the wonder of the Lord picking a nobody like him—a young shepherd boy—to be king over Israel.
And I pray that some of you reading this who feel like you are a nobody: may God show you such a wonder. God can pick you out of nowhere and place you somewhere without consulting anyone—as the Anglican Archbishop Stephen Kazimba Mugalu has often quoted.
Apart from that wonder, David had experienced the goodness of the Lord that made him say: “Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done.”
Can you say the same testimony today? For me, I can. If you cannot yet, just remain faithful to the Lord, and He will amaze you.
Second: Many Are the Lord's Thoughts Toward Us
David knew that God actually cared about him. And the same applies to us today.
God says it clearly:
“For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11
Those plans are God's perfect thoughts for you. Trust in Him.
After saying all that, the Psalmist bursts into praise: “There is none to compare with You.”
This is worship. He is saying: what God does, no man can do. His miracles and wonders are excellent. And they are many—too numerous to count.
I want to encourage you today: reflect on God's goodness to you.
When you are done, may that draw you to worship Him and give thanks for the great work He has done in your life and family.
And where there is need, call on Him. The God who has many thoughts for you will remember you through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
🙏 Let Me Pray with You
Lord, many are Your wonders. Many are Your thoughts toward us. There is none like You. Help us to pause, reflect, and give You praise. And where there is still need, remind us that You have not forgotten us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
