“I WILL DO MARVELS!”

 Exodus 34:10                    (ESV)

The Covenant Renewed

“[10] And HE said, “Behold, I AM making a covenant. BEFORE ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE “I WILL DO MARVELS”, SUCH AS HAVE NOT BEEN CREATED IN ALL THE EARTH OR 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.”

As I saw Exodus 33:18 recently on a social media site, which says “Moses said, “Please show me YOUR Glory”, it caused me to research the verse more thoroughly.  I was drawn to Exodus 33:18, I went onto read Exodus 34:10 which was highlighted in my BIBLE, but I apparently hadn’t ever used it in my “writings”??  The phrase“I WILL DO MARVELS” especially intrigued me.  

Moses was the author of the first five books of the HOLY BIBLE, and ALMIGHTY GOD USED him to make HIMSELF known to anyone who would have an interest in HIM!  “I WILL DO MARVELS” could mean that GOD is doing something that cannot be understood by human minds???  One dictionary says that MARVEL means “to become filled with surprise, wonder, or amazed curiosity”!  We do not have the capability of understanding precisely WHO ALMIGHTY GOD is in our humanity!  

Immediately my brain damaged mind goes to my medical records for September 25, 2007 which say, “However, he has had a remarkable recovery THAT COULD ONLY BE DEFINED AS A MIRACLE FROM GOD”!!!  My doctor has since said that it was the only explanation he had for my recovery?!?  While it is true that my doctor is a BELIEVER, there apparently NO WORDS to describe how “critical” my condition was?  

Moses KNEW the MAGNITUDE of THE DELIVERER named I AM WHO I AM (Exodus 3:14)!  When he descended from Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:19) his face “shone because he had been talking with GOD”!!!  When ALMIGHTY GOD does a WORK that ONLY HE can get credit for, “I WILL DO MARVELS” is the ONLY THING that will suffice for HIS HANDIWORK!!!
