Wondering over THE WONDERFUL is wonderful.

Wondering over THE WONDERFUL is wonderful :

“All they that heard it wondered at those things.”—Luke 2:18.
Luke 2:18 (King James Version)

We must not cease to wonder at the great marvels of our God. It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship; for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God’s glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head in humble prayer, yet it silently adores.

Our incarnate God is to be worshipped as “the Wonderful.” That God should consider His fallen creature, man, and instead of sweeping him away with the besom of destruction, should Himself undertake to be man’s Redeemer, and to pay his ransom price, is, indeed marvelous! But to each believer redemption is most marvelous as he views it in relation to himself.

It is a miracle of grace indeed, that Jesus should forsake the thrones and royalties above, to suffer ignominiously below for you. Let your soul lose itself in wonder, for wonder is in this way a very practical emotion. Holy wonder will lead you to grateful worship and heartfelt thanksgiving. It will cause within you godly watchfulness; you will be afraid to sin against such a love as this.

Feeling the presence of the mighty God in the gift of His dear Son, you will put off your shoes from off your feet, because the place whereon you stand is holy ground. You will be moved at the same time to glorious hope.

If Jesus has done such marvelous things on your behalf, you will feel that heaven itself is not too great for your expectation. Who can be astonished at anything, when he has once been astonished at the manger and the cross? What is there wonderful left after one has seen the Saviour?

Dear reader, it may be that from the quietness and solitariness of your life, you are scarcely able to imitate the shepherds of Bethlehem, who told what they had seen and heard, but you can, at least, fill up the circle of the worshippers before the throne, by wondering at what God has done. R1

But sometimes when reality comes on us we face the time of wondering. That wondering is not at what God has done but on what are we doing ?

We don’t get time to be with God ! Try our best but still it does not happen ! So much work ! love to work twelve to thirteen hours ! Need time with God too ! Love to help family ! Oh’ where is time for God ! Personal life ! Don’t know anything !

We do know !

From morning to night we do so many works but while we are doing those works we can spend time with God. Sounding different ? You must be thinking that Bible says close the door & go to pray. You are right but on the other hand God is omnipresent means He is every where so He is looking at us every where we are & no matter what we do.

Come let us do something which is worthy. We can wonder at what God has done over the nature as much as over the gizmos cause everything is under His authority and can be used by us to give glory to God.

Truly wondering over THE WONDERFUL is wonderful.
