I have moments where I am totally astounded by God. They may come in different ways.
Hearing a song.
Participating in worship.
Listening to someone tell how God intervened in his/her life.
Watching a life being changed only by the grace of God.
Through the laughter and love of little Sophia (Jo & I are mamaw Jo and grandpa Bill) even though not related.
Through the love of a wife who continues to astound me with her grace toward me.
I could go on. But none astound me as much as God. Each day I awaken to new mercies. Each day I awaken to a new sunrise (eventually), new sights, new beginnings, new awareness, new direction, new hope. Again…I could go on.
But I am most astounded by the unconditional love and grace of a God who blesses me with more than I certainly deserve. In about an hour and a half we will enter into our corporate worship. I will sing praises. I will preach His Word. And I will anticipate being astounded by God. It is fitting that this song be the one I choose for this week. I hope it will speak to your heart and set your mind right for the week. The words are easily understood but if you do have difficulty, they are included in the video description (hit SHOW MORE).
MAY GOD LEAVE YOU ASTOUNDED TODAY. MAY HE LEAVE YOU AMAZED THIS WEEK.
God can and will astound us even in the smallest of things.
Praying, Bill!
Thanks for your prayers Martha.
I love His new mercies…I so need them.
As do I Betty.
I too am astounded every day by the little things I see God’s love and work in. I thankful Sophia has her mama’s Jo and Papas Bull.
Those astound me on a daily basis Linda. And, of course, we feel the same way about Sophia. She’s special you know?
