They will proclaim the power of your awesome acts. I will declare your great deeds. They will talk about the fame of your great kindness, and sing about your justice. The Lord is merciful and compassionate; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love. Psalm 145.6-8

God was known for his famous deeds that he performed in Egypt to bring the Israelites out of slavery. The nations had heard of the care that he had taken with them throughout their wanderings.

When the spies were sent to Jericho to spy out the land, they took refuge in the house of Rahab. She told them how the people of the land were cringing with fear. Her people had heard how the Lord had dried up the water of the Red Sea. Then they heard that the Israelites annihilated Sihon and Og, two kings of the Amorites. She acknowledged that their God was Lord in heaven above and on earth below, Joshua 2.8-11.

God is just as powerful today and his deeds are just as great! He is still Lord in heaven above and on earth below! May we proclaim the power of his awesome acts!
