England’s premiere theologian, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, said, “Everything God does is wonderful until we get used to it.” I heard evangelist George W. Bailey, say, “If just once in a lifetime the clouds were rolled back and we could see the heavenly host, that would impress us. But we see that all the time and somehow it loses its wonder to us.”
I remember walking along a path with my children when they were young and how impressed they were with everything they saw. It might have been a peculiarly shaped leaf, a smoothly shaped rock, or a bug with a hundred legs. Friends let’s never lose the wonder of a child when considering our heavenly Father’s creation.
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds, and they will tell you, or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind” (Job 12:7-10).
