Great Things

 

God thunders wondrously

           with His voice;

He does great things

   that we cannot comprehend.

                Job 37. 5

(Even if we cannot yet see,

       nor understand His ways

                or His hand in this,

          God is real.

We may not understand

                His purposes,

but His redeeming is embedded

 fully all around us,

       in the seen and the unseen.

We have only to trust Him

          not the circumstances,

follow Him step by step,

    and be faithful to Him

    in what is before us today.)

O LORD,

You are God.

            And we are not.

And we are grateful for that reality.

You hold our lives in Your hands.

You hold our hands.

You are doing great things,

     even in mystery,

     even in what looks like shadows,

     even when we are most unaware.

Help us to trust You even more.

You give us glimpses of Your power

          and designs.

Empower us to not miss Your wonders,

     even in familiar places.
