Being Amazed?
What does it take for you to be amazed today? The space shuttle, nuclear powered ships and submarines, computers, blackberries, cell phones, iPods, HD TV, it takes a lot to amaze people today in this High Tech age.
Today, many are not “˜amazed”™ by much of anything. Cynicism, doubting, unbelief is the mindset of many.
What if”¦you were doing your job at midnight and suddenly you had a light shining where you were”¦not from any electrical source but from the presence of the Lord“™s messenger? Wouldn”™t you be amazed?
What if”¦you heard the story the shepherds told any and all who would listen to them of their personal experience of that night? Would you be amazed?
(NIV) Luke 2:16-18 “So they (the shepherds) hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.”
What if”¦the shepherds had not found a newborn baby in a manger? The message that had been given to them would not have been valid or believable.
What if”¦the shepherds had not told others of this wonderful message and experience?
What if”¦you had not heard of God”™s good news of great joy for all people?
What if”¦others are not hearing what God is doing in your life?
What if”¦amazement is not a part of your experience as a Christian?
You could ask God to give you amazement because of Who He is and what He has done for you.
What if”¦you are amazed how God is working in your life.
Spread the “˜good news of great joy”™! It is for all people!
