4 Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
but my ears you have opened—
burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.
8 I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.” NIV

4 and verse 8?

In the next 24 hours, start a WONDER-BRAINSTORM-LIST.
Keep something with you to write all the ideas that come to your mind about God’s
wonders and deeds. Try to live one full day with a constant recognition of what
God has done and what God is doing. Every time you notice something, or make a
discovery, write it down. At the end of the process, speak out the list in
praise to God.
