Today’s Scripture: Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” Luke 24:41 NLT
Have you seen Jesus? Have you thought maybe you have seen Him? Have you ever seen or heard a story about Jesus that fills you with joy and wonder? Call me crazy but I no longer doubt that I have seen Jesus.
The evidence is the joy and wonder that fill my heart. Like the two from Emmaus all I want to do is rush and tell others about what I have experienced. Do I believe in Him because I have seen Him or do I see in Him because I believe? I have no clue, but like the disciples I have been hidden away behind locked doors from everyone only to have Jesus appear.
Not physically mind you but through His written word. Day after day I seek for who He has called you and me to be and I see Him. No doubt. Yes I am looking for affirmations that will help us know Him and in finding them, I find Him, He appears and fills me with joy and wonder. John said in John 20:31 that He wrote his words so you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and that believing in Him you will have life. I do the same and pray you have a life filled with joy and wonder. Believe it, He will appear.
Today’s Prayer: Jesus, thank You for Your word. Thank you for Your joy and Your wonder. Thank You for Your faithfulness even when I doubt. Thank You Lord for giving me Your peace and breathing Your Holy Spirit upon me. You are my Lord and My God, I am sure of it. Amen

Amen! Every day I ask the Lord to reveal himself to me through His word. I praise God for showing himself to me!!
Kimberly, I am so with you. I am AMAZED at how He reveals himself. He and His Spirit speak loud and clear and morning after morning He fills me with this joy and wonder. I LOVE to praise HIm and He is soooo faithful! Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!
When God opens my eyes to see Him in my every day moments and yes, know Him through His word …I am filled with joy and wonder. Maybe this is one reason we are to come to Him like little children…they are filled with wonder at the simplest things…
I so love the idea Tom…the word…wonder.
This has had me thinking for days!
love to you and yours…
Robin, I know I didn’t add our little exchange to this writing but I should have. If there is ever a book that story will be in there. You are such a special person to me and it was God and His Spirit who gave me the word wonder in my message to you. To come back a day or two later only to find where He was taking us….it is just an amazing blessing to have Him fill us with such joy and wonder. God has chosen you to bless so many of us that I am thankful He can use me to give you a gift as well. His gift to you from me is the wonder of His greatness and love…to you always!
