Worship And Wonder
"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” - Psalm 8:3–4
Sometimes contentment comes not from getting what we want but from gaining perspective on who God is. David looked at the night sky and was overwhelmed by the vastness of God's creation. In that moment of wonder, his problems seemed smaller and his God seemed bigger. Worship has a way of putting everything in proper perspective.
When was the last time you were truly amazed by God? When did you last stop and consider the intricacy of creation, the complexity of your own body, or the mystery of salvation? Wonder is the antidote to entitlement. When we are amazed by what God has done, we stop demanding what He has not yet given us.
Make it a practice to look for God's fingerprints in the ordinary moments of life. Notice the sunset, appreciate the laughter of children, marvel at the changing seasons, and be amazed by the fact that the God who created all of this knows your name and cares about your needs. Let wonder lead you to worship, and let worship lead you to contentment.
God is bigger than your problems, greater than your fears, and more faithful than your doubts. When you truly grasp this truth, contentment becomes not just possible but inevitable.
Prayer:
Father, open my eyes to see Your glory in creation and in my daily life. Help me to be amazed by who You are and what You have done. When I am tempted to focus on what I lack, remind me of the vastness of Your love and the greatness of Your power. Let worship be my pathway to contentment. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Amen.
Pastor Ed we need to talk sir. I swear to you every week you preach and post everything I have been preaching to others. I understand that God is involved here and I am really wanting some guidance on how to use this spiritual gift. I’ve gone through all the equip courses good while back and finally have been able to volunteer since I’ve been home. I never run out of signs and wonders. It’s all the time and undeniable at this point. I know you are extremely busy but if you can find an hour to talk even if you don’t have anymore answers than I do I sure would appreciate it. I sent a message on your little chat assistant here on the web page with my info and you can look me up on the cbc system as well. Thank you for your time sir.
