The Wonder of God

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” Romans 11:33

Where do you begin when your subject of study is God? How do you even approach such a subject? It ought to strike at least a small amount of apprehension - even fear - in our hearts when we attempt to get to know the God of the Bible.

Look back in your experience. Have you noticed that those people whom you’ve considered to be godly have had a unique and common quality about them - they feared God. They had an awe, a reverence for God which superseded everything else in their lives.

In his book, Real Worship, Warren Wiersbe spends much of the reader’s initial time setting the stage with the importance of developing a sense of wonder. To many, it is already a lost art. It is not something you can manufacture or buy off the shelf. It has no plastic, artificial quality. It is an absolutely necessary element of our response to Almighty God, however.

Have you lost the ability to be overcome by the wonder of God? Do you have all the answers? Are your theology and beliefs set in concrete so that not even God Himself can change your way of thinking?

Dare to go beyond your comfort zone with God.
