The Works of God

Psalm 66:1-20 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the flood on foot; there did we rejoice in him.

What are these verses saying? First, the writer is speaking to a community of believers who must have the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in their midst in order for them to glorify God. This is because believers have experience in the convicting work of the Holy Spirit and can recognize the powerful works of God. Believers recognize the majestic beauty of God in every aspect of life as nature beholds His wonders and powers. Nature worships God in its own way and so must believers worship God as He has set forth.

When believers recognize and reverence the terrible (magnificent) works of God then they can say to other "come and see the works of God" it is then that the unsaved will believe because they too will see His mighty works. This includes believers giving personal testimony of God's saving powers through His grace and mercy at work in our lives (v 16).

Verse 6 alludes to the mighty works of God when He made a highway through the Red Sea and the nation of Israel walked through on dry land. God will wall partition the trouble waters in your life if you trust in Him and cast all your cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).

Lastly, sharing the gospel of Christ we are never alone as Christ promised His presence, authority and power to accompany us when we witness Him to the lost souls of this world. The mighty works of God is still being manifested today.
