Overcome with Amazement


Morning: Psalm 41, 51; Isaiah 48:1-11; Galatians 1:1-17
Evening: Psalm 44; Mark 5:21-43
"Every day," says poet Mary Oliver, "I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight." Some things stop you in your tracks, if you’re awake – a beautiful melody, an act of kindness. Jesus’ miracles of healing left his disciples awe-struck. Yet we frail humans can take for granted the wonders around us. When we forget God, idols easily take God’s place. We get distracted, so eager for the next new thing that we miss what God has done or is doing. Be amazed!
