He Does All Things Well! [Mark 7]

32They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him. 33Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva; 34and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!" 35And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly. 36And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it. 37They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

I can understand the utter astonishment that the people felt.  I have a grandson who was born deaf.  I wondered how we would tell him about Jesus and God's love?  At two, he was able to get a cochlear implant and immediately could hear.   I am often reminded of this miracle when he comes into my house with a big grin and says in an enthusiastic voice, "Hi grandma!" What great joy I feel that he can understand when we tell him about Jesus. 

God has done everything well.  I would love to be able to see all the miracles God is doing around me with the same eyes.  Am I aware of how well He does everything?

May we be utterly astonished today as we see the things God is doing around us and proclaim in our hearts, "He has done everything well."
