“How often do we take time to pay attention to our surroundings and look closely at the intricacies and beauty of God’s creation? Do we know the plants and animals that inhabit our backyards or our local parks?… Do we view them with a sense of wonder? Does it even matter if we don’t?” - By Faith
“Sometimes, our spiritual struggles come not because we have neglected God’s word but because we have neglected his world. …We may indeed have spiritual issues to address. But our first solution may simply be this: open your eyes and ears and wonder at the world God made.”- Desiring God
“When I speak with a friend, I cannot fully grasp what he thinks and feels. I do not directly experience their day… If all of this is true of people, how much more true is it when we think about God? That is kind of the point that Gregory of Nyssa (AD 335–395) makes when he debates Eunomius” - Wyatt Graham
“The word ‘wonder’ appears, in various forms, numerous times in Ann’s writings. Her joy came in knowing that the sea of wonders where she intended to spend her life would continue beyond this earthly state, ‘with never a sight of a boundary or shore.’” - Ref21
“We live in an age depleted of mystery…. For many of us, while paying lip service to God’s ability to perform miracles (as if He needs our encouragement a la clapping for Tinkerbell), our reality is more akin to the prayer warriors praying for Peter’s release from prison.” - John Ellis
“Deliberately pressing back against the circumstantial disruptors allows us to deliberately re-enter the story—with all of its beauty and wonder—that Jesus is writing within and around us.” - Cary Schmidt
