Seven Wonders (Part 3)

Incredible, isn’t it; the way God made the Seven Wonders of the Natural World so spectacular? In case you’ve forgotten what they are, I’ve listed them for you:

[1] Mount Everest in Nepal [2] Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe [3] Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA [4] Great Barrier Reef in Australia [5] Northern Lights [6] Paricutin volcano in Mexico [7] Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Google these and what you’ll see is…gorgeous, breathtaking & stunning.

Still more stunning and even awe-inspiring is the Seven Wonders of the Spiritual World. We’ve covered the first four; now let me put a wrap on the last three. [5] God Guides Me [6] God Uses Me, and [7] God Satisfies Me.

God Guides…me, you, us! How cool is that? It’s His desire and delight, and no, He doesn’t play games with our lives—choosing to give us His guidance sometimes and at other times, not. His guidance is always available…we just have to position our lives in such a way so that we can perceive what He is saying. God will speak frequently to us through His Word (the Bible); by the leadership of the Holy Spirit; and sometimes even by circumstances.


The Lord also Uses those willing to follow Him. This is not only the 6th wonder, it’s still a wonder to me to this day! Why would a perfect, holy, all-powerful God choose to use little ole me? I guess the point God wants me to understand is that I don’t have to understand. All I have to do is say, ‘Yes!’ So, how ‘bout it? Let’s just say ‘Yes!’ to God’s desire to use us. Deal?

Finally, the seventh Wonder of the Spiritual World is all about Satisfaction. Many people never seem satisfied, & almost everybody wants more. A little child wants more toys & more television time. A teenager wants more freedom & more popularity. Most of us adults want more possessions & more leisure time. Certainly as we age, we want more health, more friends, & more loyalty from our children.

God is the ultimate satisfier. He satisfies us with His provision, protection, and peace.

When you think deeply, really deeply about the Seven Wonders of the Spiritual World, no doubt you will want to fall to your knees and fall in love with God all over again. How could it be any other way!?!?
