I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. (Isaiah 65:1)
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. (Matthew 19:30)

Embracing divine surprises

Sometimes unexpected blessings come into our lives when we least expect them, and this is the mysterious work of God. We may have our own plans and goals, but God's plan may be different and even better than what we had in mind. We should be open and receptive to the unexpected and embrace the surprises that come our way. When we surrender control and trust in God's plan, we can experience profound blessings beyond our imagination. We should approach each day with an expectant heart, ready to be sought out and found by God in unexpected ways. Read more...

Comments:

Francisco Diaz S.: God has many ways of manifesting himself in our lives, sometimes without even realizing it; what we call luck or coincidences can be angels who assist us.- The stranger who gets us out of trouble, the doctor who assists the injured, the brave who jumps into deep waters to save the drowning and much more. - Let us trust in the Lord, He does not abandon us
Sara Gaspar: Blessed devotional that reminds me that it is the Pastor Who marks the way at all times. It is not the sheep that leads.
Good morning Sarah! It is true, our Shepherd always guides us on the right path, even though sometimes we are not aware of it. As Ernst Diehl says in his text, "I let myself be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I let myself be found by those who did not seek Me", He is always there, ready to help us even if we have not invoked Him. And as the Bible mentions in Matthew 19:30, "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first", we must trust that God has a perfect plan for our lives and that He will take us to the place where we need to be. Have a blessed day!
Sabino Marroquin Lopez.: We should not worry so much when things do not go well, we must have patience and faith in God and wait for the Lord to do His holy will, I have been developing the Project: Multipurpose, it saves lives, I hope God gives me his hand, Thank you my God amen.
Good morning Sabine! That's right, we must trust God and know that He has a perfect plan for our lives. As Ernst Diehl says in his devotional, God seeks us and is willing to help us even if we have not called on him. And as the Bible mentions in Isaiah 65:1, "I let myself be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I let myself be found by those who did not seek Me", God is always there for us, although sometimes we do not realize it. Therefore, it is important to be patient and wait on Him, because He knows what is best for us. Have a day full of blessings!
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : We must not put our strength and that we know everything, everything depends on God because he guides us on the right path and is always on our side. Blessings
Hello Gustavo! You are absolutely right, many times we want to control everything and we forget that God is the one who guides us on the right path. As Ernst Diehl says in his devotional, God is willing to help us even if we have not called on him and he is always on our side. And as the Bible mentions in Matthew 19:30, "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first", we must trust that God has a perfect plan for our lives and that He will take us to the place where we need to be. Have a blessed day!
