A Devotional on Wonder, Presence, and Praise
Opening Thought
Sometimes we move so fast we forget to pause. We miss the sunset, overlook the laughter of our kids, or scroll past the miracle that today even exists. What if today you just stopped for a second, and said, “Wow”? What if wonder was worship?
Scripture Readings
Psalm 19:1
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Acts 2:43
“Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.”
Reflection
When was the last time you looked around and felt awe? Not because of something flashy, but simply because God showed up in the ordinary. The breath in your lungs, the beauty in creation, the kindness of a stranger, and the peace in chaos are all “Wow” moments. These moments are invitations. God is calling you to live wide-eyed, heart-open, and Spirit-first.
Application
Today, let “Wow” be your prayer.
Stop and notice something beautiful
Speak gratitude out loud when you are surprised by joy
Let the little things draw you to the feet of Jesus
Invite someone else into your wonder
Write down one moment that made you say “Wow” today
Closing Prayer
God, I do not want to rush past the miracles. Slow me down. Open my eyes. Fill me with wonder again. Let my spirit rise in awe and my heart sing with praise. I want to live a “Wow” kind of life in Your presence. Amen.
