Jacob said to Joseph, “I had not thought to see thy face: and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.” God surprised Jacob by doing something for him that he never expected. Our God is full of surprises. It starts at the commencement of our Christian life. It continues throughout our pilgrimage, and I guarantee you, at the conclusion of our days, there awaits each of us the surprise of all surprises.
One of the most exciting things in life is the element of surprise. From early years to old age, it plays a great part in our lives. What young person is not thrilled by a surprise party? And what elderly person’s heart does not leap when their loved ones give them a surprise visit.
God knew how wonderful surprise would be to His children, and so it was not left out of our spiritual life. God delights to surprise us. This being true, I have a sneaking suspicion that God has a big surprise for some of us in the very near future. What an exciting thing to anticipate!
When you are pleasantly surprised, don’t forget Who planned it.
