Devotional Notes: A World of Wonder from a Wonderful King (2012-2013)

* Tie from last week ("Glory be to God for...things")

* Ps. 19:1-6
  • Glory
  • Wonder
  • Miracle

* G.K. Chesterton: "The Sword of Surprise"
  • We must become as little children to enter the kingdom of heaven. 
    • Curiosity
    • Christ made a world of subtle wonder, where curiosity within good bounds is richly rewarded.  It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, the glory of kings to find it out.
    • God's world and man's world. 
  • Things are glorious but also draw our attention to other deep matters. 
  • Consider Psalm 19:7 ff
  • Consider Romans 1



* Example
  • Much study, many books, a thesis, etc....yet I found something finer.
  • A Walk
    • Martha Price: "I was hungry to see the sunset again."
    • This is one of the finest lines of poetry I have ever heard.
  • What do you hunger for?
  • Some aspect, some glimpse and radiance, of the greatness of the righteousness of our king is here to catch.  Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be fed.
