Expect the unexpected!

Sometimes we have set goals and dreams in mind. There's nothing wrong with that, however sometimes we have to be open to expect the unexpected. We get an idea in our mind, and how we believe it’s going to happen, we don't want to waiver. However we must remember this, God has incredible and amazing plans for our lives, bigger than we can ever begin to imagine. But if we keep ourselves stuck on OUR dreams, goals and plans and OUR way of doing things, and not letting God be God, we'll never experience His amazing power in our lives. I don't know about you, but I know I can't out dream God and I don't want to try. His plans are way better than mine! And His plans can happen in an instant! Just like that, a door can open that you never even thought of. I was recently playing a game and I was at around 18,000 points. I was thinking how cool it would be if I could get to 20,000, and was resigned that it might take a while to get there. The game gives you an average of about 100 points. I played my next round and won 3,000 points. I remember thinking "wow, just like that I got something unexpected and it was awesome. Something as simple as winning a bunch of points in a game made me think about the Promises of God and how we expect God to bring it one way, and He completely surprises us and brings it another. If we're open to it. 

Are you open to experience God’s best for your life? Or are you determined to do it your way?


“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. ~ Isaiah 55:8-9
