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…..

Over 2000 Years and STILL Bringing the Newness Everyday

True, there is nothing new under the sun, but God is new everyday. - A. Bierce

When Jesus taught the people from the very scriptures they had known all their lives, they were in a word - Amazed!

Routine is as routine does. For most of us our life is a series of routines and patterns. Rote prayers, rote activities, and rote expectations. What is sad is that we have come to accept it this way and expect it, often getting upset and bent out of shape when it doesn't happen. Though God may be the same 'yesterday, today, and forever,' the way He reveals Himself to us each day is not. With Moses it was a burning bush, with Samuel it was a late night calling, and with Elijah it was a gentle whisper. How about with us today? Here's hoping our hearts are open to see and hear!

Until tomorrow....
