Occassionaly we experience something so unexpected that we call this event astonishing. It could be the majestic mountains of Yosemite or the beautiful rivers winding through a forest. It may be the birth of a child or an unexpected kindness given to us. Beyond the actual event, the astonishing thing is what created the circumstances or sights to take place.
After Jesus healed a young boy, Luke 9;43 says, “And all were astonished at the majesty of God.” God’s works never cease to astonish those who behold them honestly, because God’s majesty is far beyond all we can imagine. His power and love for us move us to depths of emotion and understanding that we have never experienced before.
