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.
