Wonder and Amazement

Ray Ortlund post:  More and more of the glory of God

And awe came upon every soul.  Acts 2:43

“Let us not stop at any benefit we may have had, and not even with the highest experiences we may have enjoyed.  Let us seek to know more and more of the glory of God.  That is what leads always to a true experience.  We need to know the majesty of God, the sovereignty of God, and to feel a sense of awe and of wonder.  Do we know this?  Is there in our churches a sense of wonder and of amazement?”
