Marvel Again

You know you’re getting old when you’ve lost all your marvels! – M. Browne  

When Jesus would teach the people they were all astonished, and “marveled” at his ability to make the word of God come alive. Amen!  

Admittedly, we often take life as it happens; and even that we take for granted. Because we've been at it for so long we just assume one day is just as ordinary as any other day, day after day, year after year. We rarely think of each new dawning where we can open our eyes as the greatest blessing ever. We scarcely think of our ups and downs as potential 'God moments,' just assuming they are all a part of life. But if God is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and He is continually seeking to be found and known by His people, you would have to conclude that He’s still in the “marveling” business, and today will be no exception. May we greet today with excitement for meeting Him in new ways.  

Until tomorrow…….

Daily Awe

Life is not a guided tour, but it is filled with a lot of marvel. – Anon
 
In the bible we read the great accounts of many folks who had no idea how it would all turn out, but it did. Hmm!  

“How in the world did my life wind up here?” “I can’t believe what I’m seeing!” Blessing or hardship, admittedly we are often amazed or confused as to how some of these things or events happen in our lives and why. Situations that cause us to think deeply, ponder over and over. But that’s the great thing about our God. We get used to the routine, want complacency and little change in our lives. But if God’s compassions and mercies are new everyday, obviously so are many of the events He brings to pass in our lives, hoping that we will marvel in amazement of His wondrous love and concern for us. No matter your situation you have to admit He is an AWE-some God.  

Until tomorrow…..
