God is always full of surprises. He created a beautiful garden, then a lovely woman for man. Then because of Eve’s rebellion there was a fall and God provided an animal skin to cover their sin. There was a flood and God provided a man who was faithful, to build a boat in a world where there was no water. There was the Red Sea that blocked the way to the Israelites freedom. That same sea destroyed the enemy after God sent wind to part the waters and made a way of escape for His people. There were enemies, yet God had Joshua to conquer. There was Nebuchadnezzar, yet God had a Daniel and in his faithfulness to God he was elevated to the right hand of the king.
There are always surprises for you. Expect them! I believe you will get exactly what you expect, and what you hope for. The definition of hope is “a constant expectation”. What are you expecting? If you are expecting to lose your job, you probably will. If you are expecting your kids to do crazy things, they will. Expect GOOD things to happen and they will, meditate on those things that are worthy of praise and pure. If you expect God to surprise you, He will! (Phil. 4:8)
