God's Little (or Big) Surprises

We all live very organized lives.  On Sunday night I get out my I phone and take a look at my calendar for the week.  Mentally I start to put extra things into the blank spaces and it isn't long before my whole week is full.  When I look at the things I have to do there are many times when I wonder how God will have a chance to break through all my business and do something special.  It is amazing, however, how God can suddenly enter into the mundane activities of life and speak to us or intervene in our circumstances.  These unexpected moments rather than the things I have planned are what make the day or the week special. God spoke through Isaiah saying:  "See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up? Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland?"  (Isaiah 43:19)  He still is doing new things!  Do you not perceive them?
