Psalms 68:1 – 3 ‘Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

The Hubble Space Telescope is the most famous – and probably most successful – space observatory ever launched into space. Circling the earth every 96 minutes, it has travelled more than 5 billion kilometers taking pictures of planets, stars and galaxies.

The huge amount of scientific data and incredibly detailed images of object in space, captured by the Hubble telescope, has led to scientific breakthroughs.  It has provided dramatic pictures of deep space like no other telescope in history. It has given photographs that show clouds of hydrogen gas towering nearly 6 trillion miles high. It has given a glimpse of a “stellar nursery,” an area in the constellation Orion where “stars are mass-produced by the dozen”.

Hubble telescope has captured pictures of stars being born and also of stars dying. It has also captured pictures of galaxies that are trillions of miles away. Some of these pictures are so breathtakingly beautiful that after viewing space through the Hubble telescope, astronomers used words like ‘awestruck’, ‘overwhelmed’, and ‘amazed’ to describe their reactions.

The Hubble telescope has indeed helped to reveal the wonders of creation.

However, beyond the pictures, more awe-inspiring is the One who created them all. The beauty of creation speak in eloquent praise of God’s amazing power. When we look at all that God has made we are compelled to stand in awe and worship Him continually. Indeed we serve the God of wonders. God is awesome not only in nature, but also in our lives. He does wonders without number.  It is good to know that  the same God who calls the stars by name also knows us by name. And just as He has not failed with running the universe, He cannot fail with running our lives.

Therefore no matter what faces you today, know that you serve the God who rules in absolute power and is able to win every battle for you. To tangibly engage His Presence, switch to praise. Praise stirs God into action. High praises will bring the God of wonders on the scene. And in every battle arena, when the God of wonders appear, every enemy will quickly disappear.

Indeed God’s Presence is our strongest defense in any battle. Romans 8:31 says ‘If God be for us who can be against us?’ Surely when God arises for you all your enemies will be scattered. High praises provoke manifold manifestations of God’s power, causing Him to do the unexpected, unprecedented and inexplicable for us. And by His mighty manifestations, men know that we are indeed serving the living God.

Today, as you praise the God of wonders, be assured that every enemy of your glorious destiny will be scattered, even as you experience amazing miracles, signs and wonders.

PRAYER: Lord, You are indeed the God of wonders, thank You for Your miracles, signs and wonders in my life.  Today, as I praise You, I thank You for going ahead of me and taking over my battles and showing Yourself mighty on my behalf in Jesus Name.
