THE PERPETUAL WONDER

It seems anything of power leaves us enchanted all over again; regardless of how many times we have experienced its presence.  Looking at the ocean does this to me.  I am as fascinated at 63 years old as when I first saw it.  For some such a re-thrill may be at a sunset (or rise), the sight of a waterfall, or the sheer goose-bump of a newborn viewing. 

I find this same sensation pondering the Word of God.  It has remarkable strength and surreal beauty.  When we are students of this Dynamic, we are engaging once again in perpetual wonder.  The Bible has that ability to stun and even resurrect moods as well as potential of the weakest man.  Wow!  It is perpetual wonder.

We dare not observe this volcano of Life with indifference; certainly not with boring routine.  Hearts which yearn in perpetual wonder for God-moves find that mining the revered pages will always produce a strike-it-rich haul.

The perpetual of wonder in calling, praying, reading, waiting, and God-timing are all absolute overjoy for the hearts of men and women.  Who can contain the awe of it all?  Isaiah was ruined when he saw God.  The church was so struck upon its inauguration the Word says "it kept feeling the sense of awe".

Kept-feeling-sense-awe---

• Feeling....emotion
• Sense......sensational
• Awe........indescribable emotion and sensation
• Kept.......perpetual wonder of emotions and sensations which never could be described; they could only be believed and experienced.

That's....how I want to live in the church.  Ummm....no....that's how I do live in the church!
