Marvelous Things

“I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number.” (Job 5:8-9)

We have all had the unfortunate experience of discovering that someone is not who we thought they were. Sometimes such discoveries are disappointing, while other times they bring incredible pain and difficulty into our lives, especially when it involves people we love and trust.

It is in such times that the sin of man is juxtaposed in sharp contrast against the holiness of God. While some mistakenly think that God will relax his standard in extenuating circumstances, and others wish he would, it is in fact his unchanging nature that is the anchor for the believer’s soul. We can have complete confidence in God because of the fact that he CANNOT change! Furthermore, God has been revealed to us in the person of his Son “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” (Heb 13:8)

The longer we walk through this world the more we learn the truth written by the Psalmist in Psalm 118:8. “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.”
