Tuesday, December 22, 2020 Wonderful God "You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations" (Psalm 77:14 nlt). Bertrand Russell claimed that the fear of boredom causes at least half the sins of mankind. We've never been more advanced technologically. We're constantly flooded with new developments, trends, and discoveries in science and technology. Yet amazingly, we still get bored. For instance, you might get the latest and greatest gadget and be thrilled with it. But after a couple of weeks (or maybe even less), you become bored with it. Or a new model hits the market that suddenly makes your version outdated. We need to realize this world doesn't have what we're searching for. God created us to know Him. The Bible says of Jesus, the Messiah, "And His name will be called Wonderful" (Isaiah 9:6 nkjv). In contrast to the passing things of this world, Jesus is wonderful. There's nothing this world has to offer that will satisfy our desire for wonder, our desire to know more than what we're experiencing. In fact, a lot of our technology can dull our senses to the extent that we fail to enjoy how wonderful life is. |
