Do you know the God who works wonders? Psalm 75-77

Psalms 77:14 (NASBStr)
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

Aspah, in the above verse, reminds us of the power and wonder of God.  God is the one who "works" wonders.   God makes known His strength to us.   We might fear the circumstances of life, but God gives us examples of His great power that solicits our praise and reverence.   After penning this verse the writer goes on to give some examples of what he is referring to in regard to God's works.  He begins with the redemption of God of His people and ends with what we see in the sky during a powerful storm.   From redemption to creation God works His wonders.  From saving us from sin to supplying us with the rain for crops and sustenance, God is working His wonders.   When we face circumstances beyond our control this is the type of verse we should meditate upon.   In Philippians 4:8 we are told to think about things that are true and honorable and just and good.   Here is a great verse that could fill that description.  Rather than dwell on the pain, suffering and fears that face us we can dwell upon the God who satisfies our every need and quenches our every thirst with His great power and strength.
