Psalms 136:4
To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:4. To him who alone doeth great wonders. Jehovah is the great Wonder-worker. None can be likened unto him, the Creator and Worker of true marvels, compared with which all other remarkable things are as child’s play. His works are all great in wonder even when they are not great in size; in fact, in the minute objects of the microscope we behold as great wonders as even the telescope can reveal. All the works of his unrivaled skill are wrought by him alone and unaided, and to him, therefore, must be undivided honor. None of the gods or the lords helped Jehovah in creation, or in the redemption of his people: his own right hand and his holy arm have wrought for him these great deeds. What have the gods of the heathen done? If the question be settled by doings, Jehovah is indeed alone. Even when the Lord uses people as his instruments, yet the wonder of the work is his alone; therefore let us not trust in people, or idolize them, or tremble before them. Praise is to be rendered to Jehovah, for his mercy endureth for ever. The mercy of the wonder is the wonder of the mercy; and the enduring nature of that mercy is the central wonder of that wonder. The Lord causes us often to sit down in amazement as we see what his mercy has wrought and prepared for us.
