Every so often it happens. A passage you have read or song lyrics you have sung a hundred times speak to you in a new way. This morning we sang "Wonderful Maker" and I was struck by the phrase, "How majestic your whispers, how humble your love." When I took time to let those word pictures play out in my mind I was amazed at the power in those statements. I imagined watching God breathe the universe into being with a simple whisper of his breath. That same all-powerful God then chose to humble himself to death, even death on a cross in order to demonstrate His love for His creation.
That began our service, and it continued as we read through Ephesians 2:1-10, which also describes that awesome process of how God took us out of our own sin, despair, and death, and brought us to be seated next to His own Son in Heaven. And, He even declares in verse 10 that this was the place we were intended to have the entire time. Even though we despised our God-given nature and chose to take on the nature of this fallen world, He loved us enough to re-make us into our Original form so that we could enjoy life with Him as He had planned from the very beginning.
What a Wonderful God indeed!
