Psalm 111.4  “He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered”

What wondrous works, you say?  Think Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, sunset on a clear day, waves lapping on shore, and your favorite other natural marvel.

Think of Old Testament wondrous works that the psalmist would be aware of: Creation, the Flood, calling Abram the nomad, Joseph and his multi-colored coat saving the family, the plagues in Egypt, Joshua and the battle of Jericho, David and Goliath, Solomon’s wisdom, Elijah defeating the priests of Baal, Daniel saved in the Lions’ Den, Isaiah prophecies pointing to the coming Messiah.

Jesus’ New Testament works are often told and well-remembered: healing, teaching, proclaiming the good news, calling people to repent and believe, willing death on a cross, glorious resurrection.

The natural marvels are recorded around the globe for us to see.  The events, even from ancient times, are documented in the Bible, the living word of God.  The attestations to the veracity and authenticity of this ancient book are unsurpassed, so that the Bible itself is one of God’s miracles.  God’s self-revelation is a marvelous creation which has survived these many millennia precisely because God wanted his wondrous works to be remembered.
