Scripture Reading
As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
Mark 9:14-16
Thought of the Day
Have you ever wondered about the word wonder? I saw an article a while back that was entitled, “Just Wondering?” It was pretty interesting. It listed some things that the author wondered about. So, to keep you from wondering any more about this just wondering list, I will share some of them with you.
- I wonder why phonetic isn’t spelled the way it sounds?
- How you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
- If a cow laughed really hard, would milk come out of her nose?
So, I began to wonder what the definition of wonder really is. I looked it up. In case you are wondering, the dictionary defines wonder as “a sense of excitement or curiosity, or to marvel, even a miracle.” Now I am pretty sure that the three things I listed above to do not fall into the category of marvel or miracle. I am sure that when the people saw Jesus, the Living God, that they were overwhelmed with excitement and were curious about meeting Him. They marveled at His miracles.
We all need to do the same. We need to be overwhelmed with Jesus today. Run out to meet Him. Do it today.
Prayer
Lord, You are so wonderful! Amen.
