Psalms 46:8 KJV
Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
The word desolation is also defined as "wonderful thing." The Hebrew root is also translated in the KJV wonderful[1]and astonishment.[2] While God's desolations are not positive, they are a wonder to consider.
God's defeat of the enemies of Israel at the Red Sea
His victory over Jericho for Joshua
The defeat of the enemies of God's people under Gideon
And so many more events just like them demonstrate the power of our God.
The lost man should hear this passage, "Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth." and fear. He needs to be reconciled to God.
The backslider should hear this passage, "Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth." and consider. He needs to repent.
The faithful believer should hear this passage, "Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth." and be encouraged. For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. [3]
