LOOK... FOR WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO!

Do you remember the story of "Three Princes of Serendipity? It is an old classic about three rulers who set out to find treasure and while they were looking, found something even better than what they had expected. The word serendipity means to, “live expecting surprises”. As a child of God that is exactly what we should be doing....living, expecting God to work on our behalf far beyond our expectations!


One day, God surprised a young shepherd boy named David, by calling him to be one of the greatest kings the world has ever known. From a burning bush God also called a forgiven murderer to lead His people into the Promise Land and free them from their burdens and bondages that they had gotten themselves into. As one door had shut and other doors slammed, Paul, upon receiving a vision or call you might say in Acts 16:9 responded by going over to Macedonia to help a man crying out to him....and the result was that a non-Jewish world heard the gospel message for the first time.


All through the ages God keeps showing up in your life and in the life of others. He is showing up unexpectedly and He is changing things! He is still the God of surprise and says to you and I....."See, I am doing a new thing!" Perhaps you may be saying, "if you only knew my situation, you'd understand that nothing is ever going to change.....the scriptures tell us that, "Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you..." Oh sweet friend, did you hear that? I said, the scriptures tell us that, "Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you..."Isa. 30:18.He is just waiting to show what He can do for you! Talk to Him, find out what His plans may be....if He doesn't tell you right away, be still and wait.....BUT, trust Him and start looking for His surprises....


"See, I am doing a new thing....do you not perceive it?..." Isa 43:19 God longs to be good to us.....but He demands obedience....and if he says to us, Look, See, Do....then we need to listen and obey!


Loving on you today,
Bren
