If you like poetry, then scroll down and read the one I wrote this week. You can come back up here and read this foreword afterward if you're interested in the how and why of what I wrote.
Foreword
It seems a reoccurring question posed by the leaders of several Bible classes I’ve attended recently is why God no longer speaks to his people through signs and wonders. I tend to disagree with the presumption of this question. Has God stopped performing miracles? Are signs and wonders a thing of the past? I think not. And it bewilders me how anyone can experience life on this earth and not see God’s great wisdom, power, and love in everything from gravity to goose bumps. That is what motivated me to write this poem. I hope it motivates you to wonder how...
wonder how
signs and wonders
theologians say
are a thing of the past
unneeded today
and that is why
or so they say
miraculous things
are not seen today
but I wonder how
when wonders abound
these scholars say
they can’t be found
have they never
watched the sky
and wondered as
the clouds rolled by
wondered
how
wondered
why
is it not a
miraculous thing
when winter days
give way to spring
and all of nature
starts to sing
what do the great
and learned feel
when cuts and sores
and bruises heal
do they think
it’s no big deal
are they too wise
to truly see
the simple things
that marvel me
a thousand ants
that work as one
earth’s perfect distance
from the sun
a mother as she holds her son
how can they say
they understand
the ways of God
and all He’s planned
and not see God’s almighty hand
still at work
still in command
signs and wonders
even now
signs and wonders
wonder
how
