READ: Psalm 126
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
On November 9, 1989, the world was astonished by the news of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The wall that had divided Berlin, Germany, was coming down and the city that had been divided for twenty-eight years would be united again. Though the epicenter of joy was Germany, an onlooking world shared in the excitement. Something great had taken place!
When Israel returned to her homeland in 538
You and I need not look far in our own experiences for examples of great things from God, especially if we believe in God through His Son, Jesus. Nineteenth-century hymn writer Fanny Crosby captured this sentiment when she wrote, “Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son.” Yes, to God be the glory, great things He has done!
— Arthur Jackson
What great things have you experienced from the hand of God? How does reflecting on these increase your trust and hope?
Great things in the past can inspire great joy, great prayer, and great hope.
