Throughout the Old Testament, God is depicted as the sole source of true wonders, distinguishing Him from the false gods of surrounding nations. The great wonders refer to acts such as the creation of the universe (Genesis 1), the plagues in Egypt (Exodus 7-12), and the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14). These events demonstrate God's power and authority over nature and history. The phrase also connects to the New Testament, where Jesus performs miracles, affirming His divine nature (<a href="/john/2-11.htm">John 2:11</a>, <a href="/matthew/14-25.htm">Matthew 14:25</a>). The wonders of God serve as a testament to His omnipotence and are a call to worship and trust in Him alone.<p><b>His loving devotion endures forever.</b><br>This phrase highlights the eternal and unchanging nature of God's covenant love, often translated as "steadfast love" or "mercy" (Hebrew: "chesed"). It is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout Scripture, underscoring God's faithfulness to His people despite their unfaithfulness. This enduring love is evident in God's promises to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>), His covenant with Israel (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>), and ultimately in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ (<a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, <a href="/luke/22-20.htm">Luke 22:20</a>). The phrase reassures believers of God's unwavering commitment and grace, providing hope and encouragement. It also points to the ultimate expression of God's love in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus, fulfilling the promise of eternal life for those who believe (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>, <a href="/romans/5-8.htm">Romans 5:8</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, recognized as the one who performs great wonders.
