Wonderstruck

We Were Created for WonderYou were created and designed to experience wonder. Woven into the fabric of our humanity is an innate ability and desire for the wonder of God. It’s felt in the moments when you watch the sun melt behind the horizon, when you reach out to cradle a baby and smell the sweet scent of new life, when you can’t help but smile as you witness two wrinkled souls renew their vows to each other. Such moments remind us we were made for something more than deadlines and debt, carpools and coffee breaks.Yet despite such wondrous moments, we can still find ourselves going through the motions of faith.Whether you’re:A long time follower of Jesus or still figuring Him outUnemployed, overly-employed, or an entrepreneurA creator, innovator, or conformistGrumpy, ebullient, grey-haired or bed-headAn average Joe or have-a-gym-membership-but-never-goA superhero (of any era), supermom, superdad, super grand, super great grand, or don’t feel particularly super at allNo matter who you are or where you’ve been-if you’ve lived a life where you’ve seen it all, done it all, or feel like you’re past it all-God still longs to take your breath away.Isaiah 29:4 records God’s desire for you: 'Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder.'Do you see it?God is busting at the seams to display His glory, power, and might in your life. And He wants to give you the greatest gift of all-Himself.Yet why do we pass by the wonder of God unaware?
