I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Job42:3
The plane began its decent, the flight attendant read the long list of arrival information as if she were reading it for the thousandth time that day no emotion or interest as she droned on about our impending arrival. Then, with the same tired, disinterested voice, she finished by saying. "Have a wonderful day." The dryness of her tone contrasted with her words. She said "wonderful" but in a manner completely absent of any sense of wonder.
Sometimes I fear that we approach our relationship with God in the same way: Routine, Bored Apathetic Disinterested. Through Christ, we have the privilege of being adopted into the family of the living God, yet often there seems to be little of the sense of wonder that should accompany that remarkable reality. Job questioned God about his suffering, but when challenged by Him
Job was humbled the wonder of his Creator and His creation. Job replied, "You asked, 'who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered what i did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which i did not know," (Job 42:3).
I long for the wonder of God to take hold of my heart. Adopted by God what a wonderful reality!
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvellous! How wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me!
