“To Numerous to List”

 “Too Numerous to List”

 

O LORD my God, You have performed many wonders for us.  Your Plans for us are too numerous to list.  You have NO equal.  If I tried to recite ALL your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.     Psalm 40:5

 

We live in a FAST-PACED world.  One in which we are SO PRESSED for TIME that we can’t take a few minutes to STOP and REFLECT on ALL that the ALMIGHTY GOD, CREATOR, of HEAVEN and EARTH, has PROVIDED for us and has PLANNED for US, His Children.  

 

David, the author of this Psalm, and MANY MORE, reminds us that when we put our CONFIDENCE and TRUST in God, He becomes our ROCK of REFUGE, our STRENGTH when we are WEAK and cannot GO ON.  He is our ENCOURAGER and will LIFT us OUT of the PIT of DESPAIR, OUT of the MUD and MIRE and He sets our feet on SOLID GROUND and STEADIES us along the way. And MANY will SEE what He has done and will be AMAZED. They too will put their TRUST in the LORD.  

 

Then in his contemplating of ALL the things that GOD has done for His CHILDREN, David came to the conclusion that, God had performed MANY WONDERS for us, that they were TOO NUMEROUS to LIST.  And he says to the ALMIGHTY, EVERLASTING GOD, that He, (GOD) has NO EQUAL.  NO ONE can do ALL the things that God has done and will CONTINUE TO DO for His TRUE CHILDREN.  

 

One of the WONDERS that God is DOING TODAY and will CONTINUE TO DO, is carrying out His PLAN of REDEMPTION.  NO ONE can REDEEM themselves from DEATH.  They cannot pay ANY KIND OF RANSOM to GOD.  NO amount of MONEY is ENOUGH.  Psalm 49:6-9, tells us that REDEMPTION does NOT COME so EASILY, because NO ONE can EVER pay ENOUGH to LIVE FOREVER and NEVER SEE the GRAVE.  

 

The ACT of REDEMPTION is not on the list of TOO MANY to LIST.  God in His ABUNDANT MERCY and AMAZING GRACE, makes this WONDER very OPEN, and AVAILABLE to ALL of MANKIND.  This ACT has many factors about it.  The FIRST ONE is that ONLY those, who have COME to JESUS CHRIST, the SON of GOD, for the CLEANSING of their souls, are ABLE to be REDEEMED. The SECOND is they MUST ADMIT that they are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE the SOUL of ALL mankind.  The THIRD is they MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for THEM, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for them, before God.  The FOURTH is they MUST CONFESS their SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  The FIFTH is they MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And they MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and just try making a LIST of ALL the WONDERS that GOD has given to YOU or has done FOR YOU.  I believe you will see that they are TOO NUMEROUS to LIST.   If you are NOT a TRUE CHILD of GOD, then you NEED to DO ALL of the ABOVE and receive those things that are TOO NUMEROUS to LIST. And be ABLE to SPEND ALL of ETERNITY in HEAVEN, and ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE ONCE YOU ARE THERE.  SO, do ALL the ABOVE NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
