Look upon at what God has done with awe and amazement and thank him for what he has done for us with praise and worship for his is worthy always!
Amazement, what a great thing to be amazed by someone or something especially when we weren’t expecting it to happen. We can be in awe and amazement of almost anything and everything in life, from the beauty of the sky to an infant walking and then speaking their first words if we look for it, we can find amazing things in this life that God has created for us and people find this all the time, especially those who watched the landing on the moon back in the 60’s. However, nothing deserves more and awe and amazement then the life of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and what he did on the cross for us out of his love and mercy for us. We read about what Jesus has done and can be and will be in awe and amazement from his choices and decisions to the miracles he did and still does today. Imagine what the people were thinking when they were there and actually witnessing his power being used to transform everyone. We can experience something like that today if we have the faith and look for it in our day to day lives with him.
Look at who Jesus, God, chooses in order to help him start his ministry, he doesn’t go after the wealthy and the rich with their power and money. This is something the world would want us to do when we start to live for God and doing what he has called us to do. The world will want you to choose people who already have influence, money, and power in the world. Be like Jesus, choose people who are meek, low on the totem pole, and are rejected by the world, these people are the type of people who Jesus chose when he started. If you want to start a company to help others, help someone who is low and meek and give them a position that they can use their skills and abilities in that will help them in life. Choose the most unlikely people in order to do what God called you to do, give those who seemed to have no chance a chance, amaze them because God changed your heart.
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior said that if we reject those who are poor and needy, God will look at us with disgrace and disgust. Heaven, like Jesus said, is an upside-down Kingdom where those who humble themselves with be the first people in Heaven. Am I saying that God blesses you with wealth and you give it away to charities that you will be the least? No, if you remain humble and do not lord over your wealth and position, God will still take care of you; it’s when people let their position and wealth get to their head that they lose their favor with God. We are commanded to look at God with awe, and some might say that is hard when they haven’t seen God do much in their life. And I can sympathize with that, I hear to stand in awe and when I feel down that is very difficult to do, I do want to stand in awe, yet my heart doesn’t want to.
This is where reading and praying can help you soulfully and spiritually in order to stand in amazement. Doing so allows God to remind you of his promises and remind you of what he has done for you in order for you to keep your awe and amazement for him. One practical way of doing this is to wake up every morning and at least pray for a couple minuets asking God to take control of the day. Doing this might just help you to see what he has planned for you and what he might do that will surprise you. we are promised and told that God has great plans to only prosper and to not harm us, yes, we will and have to go through periods of time with trouble and issues. Let those periods amaze you when you get through them in order to strengthen your faith in God and make your roots further into him as your rock and foundation. And meditate, meditate on his word and his love for you and allow your heart and mind to find his heart and love in order to be in awe and in joy of what he has done for you in order to be with forever.
God, like any good parent, only wants what is best for us and wants to give us the desires of our hearts, we just have to let him change those to the proper desires. You may want to start a company, he may be saying wait a little longer and focus on something else right now. His plans for us will amaze us if we just surrender to him everything and just go for the ride doing what we need to do for his Kingdom. God will amaze you when you give him everything and pray the prayer of repentance, he will clean out your life from your former life and will surprise you if you open your heart to it. Do not get discouraged if you have been waiting and haven’t seen it yet. Yet is there telling you that it will happen if it is in his will for you, allow the Spirit to take over in prayer and your desires will align with his will. I pray that God will amaze and surprise in your days to come, allowing him to show you everything that he has in store for you. May God bless you and keep you safe and protected while also wowing and surprising you every day, Amen!
