Tuesday’s Musings: Unseen Wonders are Waiting for Us


1 Corinthians 2:9  But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,  nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”

Facebook has become so much more than just people posting about their lives.  I love it when people post beautiful pictures from nature. One of my friends, an entomologist at UGA posts photos of weirdly beautiful bugs, someone else posts brilliantly colored exotic birds.  This morning someone posted a multicolored sea animal that I had never seen before.  There are too many wonders of this world for us to see them all with our own eyes. But we should try to see and experience as much as possible.  You see the more we encase ourselves in our small corner of the world, getting into an unchanging routine, the larger our problems seem.  On a pie chart they are a big slice of the pie.  But when we expand our knowledge of the world and our experiences in the world, the pie grows but our worries stay the same size.  They are no longer so big in the grand scheme of things.  We’re less likely to “sweat the small stuff.” God has so much more in store for us than we can imagine, but to receive it, we must be willing to open up our lives to new things, new ideas, new people and new places. If not, the same old, same old will remain just that.

Holy God, thank you for this beautiful, incredible world.  Help us to experience more of it and to receive the blessings you have prepared for us.  We ask in Christ’s name. Amen.

Have a Blessed Day!
Paige
