the surprise for all but mystics
Fishing,
Seeking,
and Being Found.
Surprise!
First Samuel 3:18
So Samuel told Eli everything and hid nothing from him. Then he said, ‘It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.’
.
John 21:12
Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ because they knew it was the Lord.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
while mystics hear, see, smell, and feel God, and know it!
Most of us get surprised over and over again
(if we pay any attention at all
to how God is present in our mundane lives)
how God shows up
like when God called to the boy Samuel, and he thought the priest Eli who raised him as a son was calling for him
like the disciples on the road to Emmaus
when Jesus shows up to walk with them after his resurrection
and opens to them the meaning of the old scriptures and his death and resurrection and then asks them to join him for breakfast.
Are you ready to encounter God today?
At least be open to the possibility?
It’s a sweet surprise, a joy that lasts a lifetime.
