W.O.W. Wondered On Word
Have you ever read a bible verse and have been literally taken back by its relevant truth or wonderful exciting revelation? Have ever felt an interesting insight leap off the page right into your heart? Have you ever just thought wow?
Thinking “Wow” is being “Wondered On the Word.” It’s looking to a verse by faith with the expectation that insightful instruction, convicting concepts, discerning discipline, marvelous meditation, timely truths, wonderful warnings and radiant revelations await to bless and transform the heart and captivate the head.
Sometimes a verse can be best understood or remembered in its nutshell form. When it’s put in a different light or said in a different way the truth splits and multiplies like light through a prism, making its brilliance more visible.
Thinking and reacting in a “Wow” mindset prepares your heart to accept God’s truth with a warm welcomed reception. Its thinking on a first impression gut level that starts the process of letting that truth sink in and clicking and eventually becoming an active part of your life.
