I’m still writing each day developing the Bible study for Wonderstruck: Awaken to the Nearness of God (from Worthy Publishing and Lifeway).
I firmly believe that God is busting at the seems to display His glory, His power, His might in a way that leaves us awestruck, breathless, wide awake to His presence in our world. God longs for us to live awake to Him and all that He is doing in our world. Indeed, our God’s name is Wonderful!
The dictionary defines wonder as being filled with “admiration, amazement, or awe; marvel”
In so many ways, those are the fruits of life with God. We are created to live in such a way that our lives are acts of worship where we express our adoration, affection, and appreciation of God at every turn. The presence of God and His work in our world should leave us awestruck. Now let me be clear: experiencing wonder of God isn’t about having a crazy story to tell our friends or getting goose bumps. The wonder awakens us to go even deeper in our relationship with God.
That’s why I define the wonder of God as the following:
The Wonder of God: A moment of spiritual awakening that makes us long to know God more.
Reflecting on this definition, when was the last time you encountered the wonder of God?
