Seek Out the Works of
God |

The psalmist David gives
wonderful admonition to God’s children in Psalm 111:2,
“The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them
that have pleasure therein.” This verse doesn’t say that
just anyone will seek out the great works of the Lord. What
it does say is who it is that will seek out those wondrous
works. It is those who have found pleasure in them before
and know the blessings found in seeking the things of God
which honor and glorify Him; those things which are pleasing
to Him, and those things which are according to His will.
Job, in the midst of all types
of tribulation, said; “Hearken unto this, O Job: stand
still, and consider the wondrous works of God” (Job
37:14). This is exactly the point which God would eventually
make with Job when the Lord instructed him concerning His
(God’s) creation and the wonder of it. Notice what John said
in Revelation 15:3, “…Great and marvelous are thy works,
Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints.” It is these works and these ways which we
should seek daily and then relish in the “pleasure therein.”
We would all do well to “Think About It!”
