<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThat word, \u201cwonder\u201d is what inspired me most. There\u2019s something about children that God wants us to see. If you want to witness a natural display of a sense of wonder, just observe a child. A child’s whole world is viewed through the eyes of wonder and excitement. A child has no judgments of why things are so, but rather a child is in awe of life and views life through innocence, purity and curiosity. You may have often heard the term “be childlike,” referring to our adult self to let go of the adult ego and be more open and curious. The truth is that we lose our sense of wonder as we become adults.The future is wide open for them, and they seem to know it. Their wide-eyes of wonder are easy to recognize. Wide-eyed with wonder, filled with potential, children are ready to try new things and build new possibilities. Unhindered by the past, they are free to chase after whatever the future holds. And you know what? That\u2019s the childlike spirit that God wants to give all of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no theme park or even the seven wonders of the world to compare to our \u201cwonder-working\u201d God. Think of it: The one true God is a God of wonders. The Bible is full of accounts of the great acts God performed for His people. Psalm 77:11\u201314 says: “I will remember the deeds of the L\u1d0f\u0280\u1d05; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.” God\u2019s wonders are supernatural acts beyond human understanding. Through extraordinary signs, the God of wonders demonstrates His limitless power, His inescapable presence, His divine protection, and His sovereign purposes. In each instance, God\u2019s wondrous works are designed to draw people to Himself. Through His most stunning of all miracles, the God of wonders revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, overcame the power of sin and death, and redeemed His people for all eternity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when you are \u201cwondering\u201d about your mistakes, that you are too old, too wounded, too limited, too whatever\u2026\u2026I suggest that you remember — with wide-eyed wonder — about our loving and faithful God Who is up to something WONDER-ful in your life. None of us are so bound by our past that God can\u2019t open new doors for us in the future. Our Father has great plans for us. He has a future full of hope laid out for us. Now it\u2019s up to us to run into that future with all the confidence of a little child Whose Dad is the WONDER-worker and miracle-maker. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
