Wonder

All they that heard it wondered at those things.
  Luke 2:18
"We must not cease to wonder at the great marvels of our God.
It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship; for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory,.... Our incarnate God is to be worshipped as "the Wonderful." ..... you will be afraid to sin against such a love as this.
 
Who can be astonished at anything,
when he has once been astonished at the manger and the cross?
 
Dear reader, it may be that from the quietness and solitariness of your life, you are scarcely able to imitate the shepherds of Bethlehem, who told what they had seen and heard, but you can, at least, fill up the circle of the worshippers before the throne, by wondering at what God has done."
Charles Spurgeon
