Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said." We should never stop marveling at the great wonders of our God. It’s hard to separate holy wonder from true worship because when our soul is overwhelmed by God’s majesty, even if we don’t sing or pray out loud, we silently adore Him. Our incarnate
God is to be worshiped as "the Wonderful." That God would care for His fallen creature, humanity, and take it upon Himself to redeem us and pay the price for our sins is truly marvelous!

If those who spend hours in idle company, reading light materials, or engaging in useless pastimes could learn wisdom, they would find more profitable companionship in communion with Heaven and more fulfilling activities in holy meditation than in the
vanities that now ensnare them. Who would choose to spend time with beggars if they could enjoy the company of royalty? Who would roll in the mud when they could rest in beds of sweet-smelling spices?
