What do you find amazing?

Matthew 9:33
And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."

Today is the start of the Men’s NCAA college basketball tournament.
It’s expected that over 18.4 million viewers will watch the first day of the tournament.
Some people will see some amazing basketball played.

Don’t we mostly over use the word… “amazing”?
Ladies look at the quilt the neighbor just sewed, and offer up… “AMAZING”!!
Men see a half court shot at the buzzer, and shout… “AMAZING!!”

When Jesus ministered to everyday people, the “amazing”, was just an everyday occurrence.
When surgeons remove tumors or replace joints, we are mostly amazed at what medical science can accomplish.
Sometimes we forget, Whose behind the amazing power in the surgeons hands.

Jesus does the “amazing”, every day.
I happen to think, that every time my heart beats, that is an, “amazing” feat.
What troubles me ever so slightly, are the people who miss the Divine “amazing” every day.

Have we been so absorbed by the culture we live in, that we’re only “amazed”, by the things that will never last anyway?
The things of God will last forever. When the trumpet blasts and Jesus returns for His church, people are going to be so “AMAZED”.

Then, what we classified as “amazing” from this old world, will seem pretty dull, compared to the “amazing” of God…
