Today's devotion titled, "It's the 'WOW!', not the HOW" (Walker, 2009, p.16). Like the title suggests, the lesson today focuses on changing our perspective of what the Lord has done for us. Through this lesson, Walker (2009) challenges us to say "WOW!" for everything that the Lord had done instead of "HOW?".
While I am not opposing the idea to find the learn about bible and to dig deeper and deeper to get a little closer to the truth one step at the time, I think it is also very important to just stop for a moment and realize that His work is amazing. Maybe, we do spend too much time on figuring what God means when He gave us the account of creation that we often forget to stop and simply say "Wow! He created the heaven and the earth".
It's kind of ironic that we as Christians often boast about our God and how amazing He is, but very rarely show the world how amazed we are of Him through our lives. Instead, we come to others with our own defense mechanism and try really hard to convince others through our words. I guess, it is time for me to start saying, "WOW!" through my lives. After all, He is amazing God.
While typing this reflection, I am suddenly reminded of one of Chris Tomlin's song, titled "INDESCRIBABLE". I believe it reflects today's reflection perfectly. Here it is:
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
