When our family went out for ice cream, my dad would ask my mum what she’d like. Often she would just reply, “Surprise me!” She told me she was never disappointed in his choice. Do you like surprises? Would you ever dare say, “Surprise me!” to God? A lot of us are a little scared to do that. Yes, we may believe that God is good and that He loves us. Yet we’re afraid we won’t like what He chooses for us. Throughout the Bible we see how God often does the unexpected. Sometimes it’s holding back the waters for His people to cross a sea on dry ground (EXODUS 14:21-22). Or forgiving and embracing those who admit their sin and turn back to Him (PSALM 130:1-4). Jesus’ time on earth was filled with amazing events that pointed people to His Father—He turned water into wine, calmed storms, healed the sick and raised the dead. What kind of God is He? One who is not restricted by our small understanding and limited imagination (EPHESIANS 3:20). God’s thoughts and ways are not like ours (ISAIAH 55:8), and He wants to give us far more than a special flavour of ice cream. He loves it when we a willing to trust Him—really trust Him—by saying, “Surprise me! Let Your will be done today, not mine.
