Finding Wonder

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.   – John 1: 1-5


The Light of all mankind slipped in through the darkness, and the darkness has not – will not – overcome it.

Where do you find wonder these days? Maybe it’s under the stars on a clear, cold night. Maybe it’s as the barren trees refuse to be still, swaying and clapping their praise. Perhaps it’s around the table with those you love, in the delight of a child, or in music that makes your soul sing.

Wherever you locate wonder, the response is the same. That feeling that we are part of something larger, something sacred, majestic and beautiful. The noise in our heads is silenced, and we fall into awe. Worship, in all its diverse expressions, pours out of us and floods into the world around us.

Where do you sense awe and wonder rising in you? How might God be inviting you to participate in his beauty with those around you?
