Something happens in life and I’m not really sure when it happens. I just know that it does. I mean let’s be real. There was a time when the little things in life just excited me. I would be excited to wake up in the morning to a fresh coat of snow on the ground. I would watch a magic show and just be absolutely enamored but the wonder of it all. I wouldn’t question everything. I was less cynical. I was captivated by belief, imagination and faith. But…

Something changed. Somewhere along the line I forgot how to imagine. I forgot how to see the world with eyes of wonder and amazement. I forgot what it looked like to just see the world as an absolute masterpiece created just for me.

Like I said, I’m not sure when it happened. I don’t know if it happened all at once or if it was a gradual thing but it happened. Now when someone tells me they’re going to show me a magic trick I jump to my phone to search for how it’s done. I see the snow as an inconvenience. Something changed and I kind of want to see the world with different eyes again.

I think the same thing happens in our lives of faith. We are just caught up in the wonder of God and what all of it means when we first come to know Him but something changes. We grow used to it. We become comfortable with the idea of a savior and it all just has less meaning. Then we just take it for granted. It no longer sparkles.

This week in our worship we addressed the topic of a healthy soul and what conditions are needed for a good, healthy soul. In our #musicmonday post this week I pray you echo the words of this song writer as he prays for a soul on fire. It’s a prayer that our soul find wonder and amazement in the presence of Jesus again.

How is it with your soul?
