You Can’t Take God By Surprise

Scripture
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.
(Psalm 27:14)
Devotional
Have you ever been suddenly blind-sided by life? Without warning, trials and problems seem to fall from nowhere. Your thinking is in a panic, and you’re wondering if there is any way out of this fearful dilemma. You‘re broken-hearted and your courage is all but gone. Have you ever been there? Have you ever found yourself wondering if God is paying any attention to your distress? Listen. God knows what you’re going through, and he knows why. We‘ve got to understand that it is impossible to take God by surprise. He is never in a panic, nor is He ever in a hurry. He is always in control, and His timing is forever perfect. It is in these situations that our faith is edified and our hearts are purified. God encouragingly proclaims, “Be of good courage; wait on Me and I will strengthen your heart.”
