Need of Faith by Rodney Howard Browne
In Saul’s case, the surprise came in the shape of a light from heaven, marking a life-changing change. For Ananias, it absolutely was an apparently irrational and illogical command from the Lord, delivered in a vision. If you are waiting on God to fill in all of the shading in your picture, you’ll never take the 1st step in obeying His will. You have to be prepared to trust His plan, knowing it’s going to be full of surprises.
Surprises are often a part of Almighty God’s leading.
When you run into the surprising part of Our Lord God’s will, your religion must engage full throttle.
as an example, when God tells you no, to attend, or to sit tight, you’ll be wanting to disagree.
But when your faith kicks into gear, none of those impulses will control you. Quite probably God has a major move in store for you in the future.
After about 70 years on this earth, and having spent 50 of those years studying and becoming more knowledgeable about the manners of God, I am able to tell you His will for our lives is full of surprises. He’s got more moves in mind for us than we could most likely expect. Some mean moving us out of our comfort sections to touch the lives of folks we’ve never met.
Or we would be in for a cross-country or cross-cultural journey that needs a quantity of religion we’ve not exercised in the past. Watch out about feeling too settled where you are—physically, emotionally, spiritually, or geographically. If the Lord wants you to move, I strongly suggest you cooperate, with no regard for the risks . If He leads you to switch, then change, even if it is hard.
