Great and Amazing are Your Deeds

Great and amazing are 
            your deeds, 
O Lord God the Almighty!  
Just and true are your ways, 
O King of the nations!

Who will not fear, O Lord, and 
        glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.  
All nations will come and worship 
                you, 
for your righteous acts have been 
               revealed.  
                    Revelation 15:3-4

Yesterday at Bible study, we looked at the stones that the elders carried out of the Jordan River to be a memorial to the people of what God had done for them.  These were to remind them that God had been to them a God of rescue and salvation from their enemies.  This was a God they could trust to keep His promises faithfully and surely.  

Sharon then gave us stones, and challenged us to remember ways in which God has worked in our lives in seemingly miraculous ways, so we might worship Him and trust Him with our current difficulties.  And as I pondered the things God has done for me and my loved ones, I was overwhelmed by His kindness.  For just as I have been flailing in the waters of fear, and sadness, and worry, much more have I been deluged by His grace, and rescue, and love.  How can I indeed not fear and glorify His name?  He is the God who does all things well.  

Look at the stones . . . and remember.
