December 12, 2024 – The Wonder Of It All

The Wonder Of It All
December 12, 2024

DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 30:18-20
 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

    Agur stood in absolute amazement at some of the things he had witnessed on this earth. He watched as the majestic eagle would open its large wings, allowing it to soar almost effortlessly across the sky with no trace of its flight.

    He was taken by the way a snake, with no legs, could move its body back and forth to slither across a rock with no apparent discomfort or damage, leaving no visible trail behind.

    He looked on with wonderment at how a large, heavy wooden vessel loaded with cargo could stay afloat on the waves of the water. Additionally, he marveled at how the wake of this vessel, though visible, would soon disappear back into the flow of the water and be gone.

    He seemed in awe of how a man could charm a woman, their two hearts melting into one, and looking back at the romance, it seemed as though it was always meant to be.

    As breathtaking as these things were and as amazed as he was at them, he found a great sense of confusion regarding how an adulterous woman could commit her sin without remorse, as though she had only done what was natural.

   Agur might have a heart attack today if he were to look around at how some people treat sin, regarding it as though it were not really sin, but rather a mistake, a lifestyle, or just the way they are. Eccl. 12:14 says, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Amazing huh!

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

    God has given us so much to be amazed by: the birth of a child, the love of parents, and the wonders of nature. What can we offer in return for His wonderful gifts to us? We can present Him with an obedient heart, full of wonder for Him.

Have you given God your heart?
Your whole heart?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
