Expect the unexpected

Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.'"

Bill and I went for a drive on Saturday afternoon, just the two of us and it was so refreshing. Getting us both out of the cabin for a bit and while we were out we also went for a short walk enjoying the presence of Christ and the spectacular views He has created. When Bill wasn't watching, as he had his eyes on the view, I became intentional on falling backwards right into the snow!

Why, you might ask, would Yolanda do such a thing? I'm here to tell you that the urge was so strong to be like a child and do something that would be totally unexpected of me. I made a snow angel! It was so much fun!! I laughed, Bill laughed, and it was sooooo cold!

That little simple action got me to thinking about how you and I, as Believers, should be expecting the unexpected. Believing and being watchful for MIRACLES!! I've been contemplating where I have been and where I see some of my friends are at in this journey called LIFE. At times, we tend to put our hope & trust in people and things instead of GOD. But that sets them up to be a false god and they are not 100 percent trust-worthy. They are human beings with faults of their own, their own baggage and bondage.

I want to challenge US, you and I, to EXPECT the unexpected from God! I believe that if we will allow God to be outside the box that He will prove Himself TRUSTWORTHY every single time. He is faithful! He is a HUGE God performing MIRACLES today just as he has since the beginning of time. As I've been contemplating how others leave damage across our hearts, my mind went to the positive that there is ONE who will never, ever do that to me or to you.

Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave your or forsake you." We can BELIEVE that for all our worth....God is absolute! A quote from Our Daily Bread devotional: "Life is not always fair, but God is always faithful."

Exodus 34:6-7 Message ""God, God, a God of mercy and grace, endlessly patient—so much love, so deeply true—loyal in love for a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin. Still, he doesn't ignore sin. He holds sons and grandsons responsible for a father's sins to the third and even fourth generation."

Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands."

Psalm 89:8 NIV "O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you."

1 Corinthians 1:9 NIV "God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

Father, I'm so in awe of You every time I turn around. You just blow my mind to Your touch upon my world. That You are faithful and will accomplish what You have promised or spoken in Your word to the depths of my soul. Father, I'm expecting the unexpected from You because You are MIGHTY. I love You like crazy, in the saving name of Jesus. Amen.
