The works of the LORD encompass the entirety of creation, from the universe's expanse to the intricate details of life on earth. In <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, the creation account highlights God's power and creativity. The psalmist's exclamation here is a response to observing the natural world and God's providential acts throughout history. The works of God also include His acts of salvation and judgment, as seen in the Exodus narrative, where God delivered Israel from Egypt with mighty signs and wonders. This phrase invites reflection on the grandeur of God's handiwork, encouraging believers to worship and trust in His sovereign power.<p><b>how deep are Your thoughts!</b><br>This phrase speaks to the profound wisdom and understanding of God. His thoughts are beyond human comprehension, as echoed in <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>, where God's thoughts and ways are described as higher than ours. The depth of God's thoughts can be seen in His eternal plan of redemption, which unfolds throughout Scripture, culminating in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The wisdom of God is also evident in the intricate design of creation and the moral order He has established. In <a href="/romans/11-33.htm">Romans 11:33</a>, Paul marvels at the depth of the riches of God's wisdom and knowledge. This phrase encourages believers to seek God's wisdom and to trust in His perfect plan, even when it is beyond our understanding.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature.
