Ephesians 3:20 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. (The Message).
December has arrived and here we are at the beginning of Advent once more! I always enjoy the build up to Christmas, probably because we get a chance to be a blessing to others and spring some happy surprises along the way.
I think God loves to do that too because He sometimes gives us a lovely surprise when we least expect it. Maybe Mary was the one who had the biggest surprise from God when an angel announced she'd been chosen to be the mother of God's son. That had to be a heart stopping surprise don't you think?!
Peter was surprised when Jesus told him to go and find his tax money in a fish's mouth and sure enough, there it was! Jesus surprised people every day, wherever He went but even Jesus was amazed and surprised when the centurion told him to just say the word and his servant would be healed. I think his faith really blessed Jesus' greatly.
How about you? Have you had any nice surprises lately or is God prompting you to be the one to make a happy surprise for someone else like popping a chocolate coin into your Christmas cards?! It doesn't have to be big just something to bring a smile. Either way it's God who gets the glory because He is the instigator of it all and scripture tells us that all good gifts come from Him.
So I pray you all have some lovely 'God' surprises in this Advent season that really put a smile on your face. He wants and encourages us to expect the unexpected and maybe it will be a big surprise.😊
