Recently I have been reading the book of Acts found in the New Testament. It has been a refreshing reminder of living in the WOW.
As I have been reading, it has reminded me that we do not have to live in the mundane activities of our daily tasks. In fact, we are invited to live in the exciting life that God has planned for us. And in that life, we are treated with WOW moments....especially when we are looking for them.
Early in Acts people were wowed and amazed. The "wowness" of these people created a desire to wow others (share their wow stories of repentance and love). They were wowed by a life changing experience found in Christ Jesus and they were wowed by the miracles that were performed before them that reflected the love and gracious of Jesus. The "wowness" they were experiencing also created a desire for believers of Jesus to unite in all things - food, fellowship, worship, and Christian action that again would reflect Christ love and graciousness.
It's an awesome thing to be wowed. Think about it. Reflect back to a time when your spouse, a loved one, or friend wowed you. The butterfly stomach of excitement probably set in for a moment, you expressed a great sense of appreciation, and you couldn't keep it a secret. You were overwhelmed with being wowed!
If you are a follower of Christ, remember when you met him or experienced him for the first time? Wow. Or remember yesterday when he provided for you? Wow. How about the time His Spirit lifted you? Wow. The day he met you in the midst of difficulty? Wow. Your worship with Him today? Wow. You see, in all things, God is there and is wowing us.
As a Christ follower, go and WOW someone today with your story of you have been wowed by a loving God who has your life close to His.
