The Exclusiveness of God's Wondrous Activity
"Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen."
These verses consist of a closing to a prayer from Solomon to the LORD for His grace and blessing upon Solomon's leadership, kingdom, and ministry. Verse eighteen tells us that in contrast to both the humanistic tendencies and the idolatrous notions of the cultures around God's people that God alone "works wonders." In other words God alone works in wondrous action to accomplish His will and purposes in His created universe. This wondrous activity is in contrast to not only the humanistic activity of depraved man but also the inactivity of vain idols.
