“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” – Psa. 40:5
If we think much about Jesus we will think much of Jesus. As the old song says, “I stand amazed in the presence, Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner condemned, unclean. How marvelous, how wonderful, And my song will ever be, How marvelous, how wonderful, Is my Saviour’s love for me.” Indeed! As we look unto Jesus and consider Him we get lost in the wonder of it all. Setting our sights on Him changes our perspective on everything.
When I’m —-
— wicked, Jesus is my righteousness
— wayward, Jesus is my guide
— weak, Jesus is my strength
— worried, Jesus is my peace
— wrong, Jesus is my Helper
— wounded, Jesus is my Great Physician
— weary, Jesus is my rest
— without, Jesus is my supply
— worldly, Jesus is my Sanctifier
— wavering, Jesus is my solid rock
— wondering, Jesus is my teacher
— worshipping, Jesus is the object of my affection and adoration.
There was a time when I dared not lift my eyes up to heaven, nor speak of Him, but now I can’t take my eyes off of Him, nor quit speaking of Him. There was a time when He was nothing to me, but now He is everything. There was a time when my affections were set on the things on earth, but now “All that thrills my soul is Jesus!” Christ is all to me! “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” (Gal. 6:14) – HDS
As Joseph Addison (1672-1719) wrote: “When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise.”
