Devotions - 7 Wonders Of The World

One day in a school, the students were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The
Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to See...
2. to Taste...
3. to Smell...
4. to Hear...
5. to Feel...
6. to Laugh...
7. and to Love.

You see, God had given us the most wonderful things in this world but we often miss them. When we open our eyes, we are able to enjoy the beauty and wonders of the world. When we smell, the fragrance of the earth fills us. We laugh when we feel joy. A we are able to love and be loved. These are indeed the many wonders that God had created. But guess what, the most perfect and wonderful creation that God did, is You!

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for teaching us the wonders of your works. Father help us to continue to understand your love for us. Help us Lord to appreciate the simplest things around us. Father thanking You for creating me the way I am. I know that I am Your proudest creation. Thank You Lord. In Jesus most precious name.
Amen.
