"embracing The Surprises Of The Lord

Here is a sermon inspired by the theme of being surprised by God.

Introduction:

- Have you ever experienced a surprise that completely changed your perspective or direction in life? The Lord has a way of surprising us in unexpected and powerful ways.

Main Points:

1. The Unexpected Path: The Lord often leads us on paths that we never would have chosen for ourselves. Just as the disciples were surprised when Jesus called them to leave everything and follow Him, we too may be surprised by the directions in which the Lord leads us. But His ways are always higher than ours, and His plans are always for our ultimate good.

2. Divine Interventions: The Lord has a way of intervening in our lives at just the right moment, bringing about miracles and blessings that we could never have anticipated. Just as He surprised Mary and Joseph with the news of the virgin birth, the Lord continues to work in unexpected and miraculous ways in the lives of His people today.

3. Joy in the Unexpected: When we surrender to the surprises of the Lord, we can experience a deep and abiding joy that surpasses understanding. The Lord's surprises are often accompanied by a sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude that reminds us of His great love for us.

Conclusion:

- As we journey with the Lord, let us remain open to His surprises and trust in His perfect plan for our lives. May we embrace the unexpected paths, the divine interventions, and the joy that comes from being surprised by the Lord. For He is the God of surprises, who delights in revealing His love and grace to His children in unexpected and wonderful ways.
