Whatever you are believing God for, begin to expand your expectation. I guarantee you that God is thinking bigger than you’re asking! I believe God is about to do something in your life that is greater than you have ever imagined.
Look at what God spoke to His people before and allow it to direct your faith today. In Exodus 34:10, God shows up and says, “Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.”
That means God is promising to do something so great for you that it will cause you and others to marvel at His power and goodness! Other translations say that God is going to do miracles and wonders that have never been seen before.
Notice that God said this is a covenant to Him. A covenant is a solemn agreement. And God tells us His attitude regarding a covenant saying, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips”(Psalms 89:34).
So, I ask you, “How reliable is a covenant which God makes?” Can you fully expect Him to back it? Of course you can!
After God made this covenant with Moses and the children of Israel, they saw marvels, wonders, and extraordinary manifestations of God’s greatness. They marveled as God led them through the wilderness, as He provided them food and water, and through the miracles that took place when they had been bitten by serpents.
They marveled at the dividing of the waters of Jordan, the walls coming down at Jericho, and the sun and the moon standing still for them until God had avenged them of their enemies.
They saw things they had never witnessed before and it was obvious that it was the Lord’s doing, and not man’s.
Hundreds of years later, the Prophet Joel declared, “Fear not O land, be glad and rejoice; for the Lord will do great things” and God says, “I will show wonders…” (Joel 2:21, 30).
One of the meanings of the term great things, is beyond the usual. Wonders here implies something unfamiliar or inexplicable, that which is unable to be explained other than it had to be something God did.
