Childlike Wonder For Creator God

The 1806 English Nursery Rhyme is on my mind today:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.


As children of the King of Kings, we cannot afford to lose childlike wonder for our Creator God. I was recently flooded with wonder as I reflected on this verse from God's Holy Word:

The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon has another kind of splendor, and the stars have still another kind of splendor. Even one star differs in splendor from another star.
-- 1 Corinthians 15:41 (GWT)

After the Nursery Rhyme and this wonder-filled New Testament verse, the song of worship, "God of Wonders", is now playing deep within my soul.

In Name of the Wonderful One Who Loves You And Me. Amen.

Childlike Faith is the wonder and awe at what Christ did for us. It is a synergy of trust, hope, and unpretentiousness that knows the Lord loves us and will lead us. Childlike faith sees the world as exciting and adventurous, and worth pursuing with our faith so opportunities to please God override our complacency and the attitude of “been there, done that,” even though we may have.

Amen. Wonder is freshness of vision, I'd say. His mercies are new every morning.

Thanks for the reminder. It's easy to lost that sense of wonder.
