Podcast 48.5 Transcript

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let's think about this.

How marvelous how wonderful

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. Psalm 118:22-23 ESV 

Jesus quotes this verse prophesying His fulfillment of it. He would show His love for us by being rejected and then becoming the cornerstone of our salvation. He acknowledged it was God's doing and a marvelous thing. We must choose to respond to this marvelous love.

And my song shall ever be

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. Psalm 104:33 ESV

Here is our response. We will sing as long as we live. But what happens after this life? We will keep singing because our souls are eternal and they have been redeemed. Are you committed to singing God’s love eternally? When did you last do it? How will you do it today?

How marvelous how wonderful

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1 ESV

We are motivated to give thanks when we remember and recount all of our Lord's wonderful deeds. With my whole heart . There is no part of my heart that is not committed to this. Can you echo the Psalmist's dedication? If not, why? Commit today to all-encompassing praise.

Is my Saviour’s love for me

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 ESV

Here we find the inspiration for our continual praise and thanksgiving. We were still sinners when Christ offered His marvelous, wonderful love to us. That makes it even more so in every way. Take a few minutes on this day of love to marvel and wonder at His love anew.

Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.

How marvelous how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful
Is my Saviour’s love for me

Take the mindfulness of God's presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond.  Until next time,
Be Resonant.
