I love this passage from I Corinthians 2:9 GNT which states; “What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him.”

There is always an element of surprise with God. Life with Him was never meant to be boring or predictable, but filled with wonder and awe. Everyday we should come expecting to learn something new about him, something more about his will and ways for us. God is not boring and he doesn’t live in churches, he resides within each of us who call him Lord and follow hard after him. In the middle of your mess you can whisper his sweet name, Jesus, and the rush of his presence fills you deeply. 

What if I were to tell you that God is ready to spice things up in your life, would you be ready for it? Would you be willing to take a wild ride with the King? To do something you’ve never done for the Kingdom of God, to allow the glory and presence of God to spill over onto people and circumstances until everything around you is changed? Would you do that? What would that look like if we were all totally yielded to God.

Let your imagination blow out the walls of limitation. Let God be God, let him rule you and reign in you. Worship him with complete abandon, leaping and dancing. Be a David who cast off his kingly garments to be undignified before the people to celebrate his God. If you’ll do that, He’ll do the unexpected, unpredictable things in your life that you’ve been longing to see. Don’t put God in a box to show and tell, let Him be God and do whatever he wants with you and watch your world change.

Father, be big in me today; so big that I explode onto everyone and everything around me. May your love and glory be so magnified that just being around me will bring people to repentance and healing. May I not allow others to cripple me and keep me bound with cords of religious teaching or restraint, but keep me free for it’s for that reason Christ made me free. I’m forever grateful and willing to go on this exciting ride with you. I’m hanging on for dear life while you whisk me off my feet. I’m hanging on!
