Scripture reading
As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
–Genesis mark 9:14-16
Thought of the Day
Today I started wondering about the word wonder. One reason why I was wondering that was because I found some things that were kind of interesting that were on a list titled “Just Wondering”. To keep you from wondering any longer about the just wondering list, I will share some of them with you.
I wonder why phonetic isn’t spelled the way it sounds?
Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?
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 not sure that these three things listed above fall into the excitement or marvel or miracle category. I am pretty sure that our scripture for today covers them all. People were overwhelmed with excitement while at the same time, curios about this man named Jesus. They marveled at His miracles. We need to do the same. Become overwhelmed with Jesus today. Run out to meet Him.
Prayer
Lord, You are wonderful. Amen.
