His Wonders Never Cease
The object of our faith is the Lord our God.His ‘wonders’ are a reflection of His inner thoughts towards us.Wonders—Wondrous (i.e. supernaturally marvellous) deeds.He is indeed beyond compareHis mercies—the things we have already experienced—Are but a fraction of what is still kept in store for us.Natural Wonders Surround Us!
