======Wonder 4 - in the middle of our world ...======
Thursday, August 27, 2009. We are talking about wonders this week.
How do wonders fit into our world?
Do we have a sincere understanding of our world? What is it that we
understand? What is it that we do not understand? How far is our science?
As scientists, businessmen, politicians or adminstrative people we all
have a sincere interest to understand our world. We want
to know what is going on in it. We are interested in understanding it, but
also in influencing it and doing things. We want to control things, to
be understood in a good sense of seeking security, peace and prosperity.
Where do we see wonders? Do they have a place in our world view, in our
understanding of the way how things work?

There is a lot of space for wonders! When you start to think about
it in a deep way, you find more and more places where wonders are possible.
Wonders are much more than just some healing which cannot be understood in
medical terms. That might happen occasionally, but if this is our main idea
of wonders today, then we are following an extremely narrow track and
it will be difficult to remain healthy spiritually in the long run. God's
wonders are much more diverse, a wonder takes place when God interacts with
our fate, with our life, with our day. And since he is the creator, the
origin of everything that is, his wonders are around us from morning to
evening.
God is in the middle of all events which happen. Of course he gave us a lot
of regularity for our life, he gave us natural laws to live in a reliable
world, where things follow rules and where we can explore the rules to
influence the world. That is the adventure of science and technology, the
adventure of mind and spirit, of creativity, art and music. But he is still
in the middle of all this, and he is capable of influencing everything. If
we ask him, he will come and do even much more than he does without our
prayers and intercession.
Let us approach the Lord every day and ask him for his activity. Let us ask
him to fill us with his spirit, to be able to live - to think, feel and act -
in a truely good way. He will come with many ideas and great help for our
personal development. And let us ask him to be there with his wonders in
our life. He can do so many fantastic things, that it is worth to ask him
every day. He can act on small and large scales. He can be there with little
things, and he can move the mountains.
