Lent Challenge...At the feet of Jesus!

Well, each time I finish reading for this Lent Challenge I'm always left with one word: WOW!!!  God is completely leaving me WOnder Struck through this journey and I'm only in John!  Oft I've asked myself as I've read, "How Did I miss.....?"  For instance, Jesus saw Pilot TWICE.  That's just one of what seems to be a gazillion things that I've glossed over because I had told myself, "I've read this before, I know how the story goes."  What I'm learning is that I haven't even scratched the scratch of all that Jesus wants to teach me.

In the four gospels I've learned about life's storms, marriage/divorce, what it means to truly follow Jesus and the cost that disciples paid to follow Him.  Something else that has stuck in my mind is the fact that the pharisees (dumb pharisees) kept asking Him for a sign.  No matter what they saw Jesus do they still questioned who He was, and were always there to try and trap him or correct Him for things like healing on the Sabbath.  Then it hit me, there are still people today walking the earth who still say they need a sign before they'll believe in Jesus.  I always want to ask, "Is an empty tomb not enough?"  I just don't get it.

The one thing  that I've experienced above all else so far is that I can't get enough of God's Word.  I mean I'm thinking about it ALL DAY LONG.  It's like water to my soul and it's refreshing.  I'm learning so much.  Oh if I'd not glossed over so many things before, but now is the time for me to learn at the feet of Jesus and what it means to be like Him, to follow Him, and to tell others about Him.

This truly is leaving me Wonder Struck!
