I write this entry with anticipatory joy, peace and a heart of thankfulness.
Today's Daily Bread was entitled "Surprise Me!" and the relevant Scripture was Ephesians 3:14-21. I believe this is very apt for me in my current circumstances as described in the previous episodes.
The focus of this passage was verse 20 which is the beginning of a common benediction said at the end of service. Paul writes:
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." [my emphasis]
The writer of today's QT highlights the instances in the Bible how the LORD works (and sometimes, surprises). She writes that "God delights in doing the unexpected" like the parting of the Red Sea back in Exodus or even Jesus turning water into wine, calming storms, healing the sick and raising the dead. All these were done not to show off, but to point people to God the Father. What a privilege to know such a God!
What does it mean for me, you may ask? Well, I believe this is the LORD's answer to a burden on my heart on the family finances back home. It has definitely costs alot to support me here in England, my brother in Perth and the youngest at home doing the IB at ACS (International) - which is defintiely very costly.
I believe the LORD can even surprise because He can do "immeasurably more" than what our finite human mind can ask or imagine. I know He has heard the cries of my heart and today's QT is His answer that He has heard and knows what to do.
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
