The phrase ‘God of Surprises’ should not be an unfamiliar term to any Christian. Throughout Scripture, we read that God has acted in ways that, at times, seem to contradict logic. The problem for us is the logic that God seemingly contradicts is OUR logic, OUR approach to life, and how to live it. More to the point, WE are contradicting God’s perfect logic, His plan, His desire for creation. As a result, we sometimes find ourselves saying,”Why me, Lord?” I’ve had my share of such missing-the-mark moments as an ordinary, trying-hard-but-sin-cursed member of the human race. But the last Why moment resulted in my writing this message. Why would the creator and sustain-er of the universe want me to experience such life-changing opportunities as I have described here? I think He means my example to serve as a message to all people, especially the skeptical ones, of the actuality of His promises, such as in Psalm 32:8 or Proverbs 16:9. Try adding one word to that question. Make it “Why not me, Lord?”
