Be Still And Know That I Am God

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

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, greetings to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Psalm 77 is a prayer in times of hardships, discouragements, helplessness and darkness. If we understand the verses 1-10, Asaph shouts to the Lord, raising his voice, with his hand extended towards the Lord without weariness. He is so upset that he could not express with his words. Verses 7-10 explains the essence of misery

“Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? 8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

It is the worst feeling in any Christian life, where you feel that the Lord won’t be favorable again, His loving kindness ceased forever, all His promises are appearing to be fake. The scenario totally changed from v13

Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? 14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

And he starts praising God for the miracles the Lord has done to the Israelites (v15-20).He began explaining His mightiness and holiness, he was sure that no other God is greater and He is the one who can do miracles and wonders. He can change the impossibility to possibility because He is such a great God. He is the Master of Impossibilities. The transition from v7-9 and v13-14 is incredible. What led to this transition? Obviously verses 11, 12.

I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
