Psalm 77:13a "Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary..."

Day 96 – Psalm 77

“Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary…” Psalm 77:13a

THE WAY OF GOD

It is difficult to understand “the way of God”. It is truly profound. Asaph tried to understand the way of God by mere human reasoning (Psalm 77:1-9). He ended up with anguish of heart and soul. It was only through remembering the works of God and meditating on it that he actually understood the way of God better.

“Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?”
Psalm 77:13

i) When one spends appropriate time to be still before God.
ii) When one spends time to remember and meditate on the works of God.

3. “Who is so great a God as our God?”

a) This is a rhetorical question.
b) This statement represents a soul that has been obviously refreshed and revitalized.
c) The greatness of God is discovered afresh.
