The glory and splendor of the Lord is all around you. Take the time to notice it. Let your physical eyes observe some of the Creator’s amazing and majestic beauty and engineering in nature and its 2.2 billion species of life that scientist have catalogued so far. (Romans 1:20)
Look up and notice how spectacular the sky and the stars are. (Psalm 19:1-2) Climb a mount and sense God’s glory. Walk a beach and hear the waves praise Him. This incredible world is but His shadow declaring His greatness and magnificence to all who will recognize it.
Open your heart to awe and astonishment. Cultivate ever increasing appreciation for the creative miracles that surround you and the ones that are you — the multitudes of physical marvels that make up your material body and the wondrous mysteries of your consciousness, your conscience, moral compass, your compassion, your mind, your sense of fairness, your desire for justice, your desire for meaning and purpose, your longing to be genuinely loved, your sense of guilt, your disappointment in yourself, your desire for approval, and so many more curious things about you.
A lifetime of “Wows!!!” from a heart dazzled by nonstop amazement cannot do justice to the abounding splendor and creativity of the infinite intricate (visible and invisible) designs of nature! Focusing on the grandeur of all that incredible physical and nonmaterial stuff baffles the brightest minds and will stir the hardest hearts with overwhelming wonderment.
Recently someone pointed out to my wife and me that we both say “Wow!” a lot. I was so encouraged by that. Our goal has been to recognize, celebrate, appreciate, follow, and demonstrate the love and glory of God. Wow! That’s still the burning desire of our heart. We love being wowed by the beautiful things that we see, hear, hear about, and experience, God doing throughout each day.
