Two Kinds of Wonder
Luke 5:18-26
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.…


Wonder at the work of God is natural, justifiable, commendable. He is a God of wonders. It is right to say of the Lord's doing, "It is marvellous in our eyes." We are to talk of all His wondrous works; but this must be in the spirit of devout admiration, not in the spirit of suspicion and doubt. A holy, grateful wonder should be indulged to the full; but a cold, sceptical wonder should be resisted as a suggestion from Satan. Faith accounts all things possible with God; it is unbelief that in. credulously marvels at the work of His hand.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
