Stunned By God
“I tell you,” He replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
Luke 19:40 (NIV)
“When was the last time you were stunned by something God did for you?”
Without restraint or hesitation, I have to say, “Every day. Every day, I am stunned that I am who I am, I am loved like I am loved, and I am blessed like I am blessed.” The blessings God gives me every day simply stun me. I am not a person of great wealth. I am not person of vast intelligence. I am not a person who has an abundance of material possessions. But I wake up every day in a home that is cool in summer and warm in the winter. The cabinets in my kitchen are never empty and my closet overflows with clothes. I am healthy enough to walk to mailbox or run with my son. I am stunned by God and many times convicted because of my greedy and ungrateful attitude towards my life. Every moment of every day is an opportunity for me to be stunned by God and to show my praise to Him for all He does for me.
Are you ever stunned by God? Does His goodness to you take your breath away? Do you ever feel if you don’t praise Him that the very rocks will cry out? Today, raise the roof! Let this song echo in your soul all day…every day.
He lavishly loves and blesses His children beyond measure. Praising may be a real sacrifice today. Praise Him and feel His presence right with. After you have praised Him, testify. Share with us today how God has stunned you.
God stuns me with His love, mercy, and forgiveness. His enabling strength and His faithful friendship. He is so vast and great, yet He makes Himself so real and personal to us. Being stunned by God seems like just the right place to be all the time. Thank you for your post!
He stuns me just by loving me, by seeing what He has created.
He stuns me by always being – behind me, above me, before me, below me, and within me. Just being the great ‘I AM’.
Thank you Wendy for your inspiring thoughts.

Thanks Wendy for this awesome post. It is so easy to take the things the Lord gives us for granted and forget to worship and thank Him. God Bless you ♥
Love this song of worship to HIM!!!
How beautifully expressed! How true, every word! Thank you.
Yes, I am stunned each day with God’s love and blessings. I have so much more than I ever imagined was possible: a close relationship with God; a loving husband (my playmate!); comfortable home; family and friends…and love beyond measure! What a joy to serve our gracious Lord and Saviour!
I am stunned by each day God gives me. Each morning His mercies are new, Lamentations 2:22-23. He gives me another day to call upon His name, seek Him, trust Him, love Him, and worship Him.

Wendy…Thank You for sharing this! It wakes up in me HOW much I am blessed. God’s love is “always” there to comfort me, and yet there are far too many times I fail to see this. He is my Lord and Savior, but there are times I have to take a step back, and realize that He can take care of matter’s that I can’t even touch…
