SHEER WONDER
Today's reading: Job 27-28

"He made the winds blow and determined how much rain should fall. He made the laws of the rain and prepared a path for the lightning." Job 28:25-26 NLT

When I get a little 'too big for my britches', God places in my path something that makes my eyes wide with delight in His power and might.

When I lean towards the idea that I, with my planner in hand, have complete control over the day, the week, the month, He mystifies me with a portion of His creation.

When I begin to coddle the thought that I am 'something', He reminds me of His grace...and how very much I need it.

When I believe I can do it all on my own, He brings along a 'storm' that showcases His abilities.

And I stand in amazement. My jaw hits the floor. I pause in wonderment. I am enchanted by His creativity. I am stopped in my tracks by astonishment. I live out Merriam-Webster's definition of awe--rapt attention and deep emotion caused by the sight of something extraordinary.
