Dad's Ramblings -- Taken By Surprise

"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and sat upon each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."
 
                                                                                        Acts 2:2-4
 
The wind – the fire – the foreign languages — they caught the disciples by surprise. Who would have dreamed that the coming of the Holy Spirit would include such wonders? The creative God does the unexpected. He took the world by surprise when The Savior of the world was born in a dirty, smelly barn. He took Saul of Tarsus by surprise, upsetting his agenda. I imagine Heaven will be filled with surprises. And Jesus will come again when we least expect it. I shouldn't be too surprised by what God may do unexpectedly in my life today.
 
Today's Thought: The God of the Universe is full of surprises.
 
Have a surprising day. Love you.
