WONDERFUL!

READ:

I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
-Job 42:3

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 18-19
2 Timothy 3

As our plane began its descent, the flight attendant read the long list of arrival information as if she were reading it for the thousandth time that day - no emotion or interest as she droned on about our impending arrival. Then, with the same tired, disinterested voice, she finished by saying "Have a wonderful day." The dryness of her tone contrasted with her words. She said "wonderful day" but in a manner completely absent of any sense of wonder.
Sometimes I fear that we approach our relationship with God in the same way: Routine. Bored. Apathetic. Dis-interested. Through Christ, we have the privilege of being adopted into the family of the living God, yet often there seems to be little of the sense of wonder that should accompany that remarkable reality.
Job questioned God about his suffering, but when challenged by Him, Job was humbled by the wonder of His creator and His creation. Job replied "You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know"(Job 42:3).
I long for the wonder of God to take hold of my heart. Adopted by God - what a wonderful reality! - Bill Crowder
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful
Is my Saviour's love for me! - Gabriel

Nothing can fill our hearts more than the wonder of our God and His love.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
