SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sometimes God reveals himself to us in the least expected times and places.
DAILY FODDER
Have you encountered God where you didn't expect to find him? How do divine surprises shape the way that we relate to God?
PRAYER
Risen Savior, just as you slowly and gently revealed yourself to the disciples along the road to Emmaus, you continue to surprise us. I'm guessing that my mistake is in limiting how I expect you to operate. I get so caught up in all the drama that I'm not looking for you. That's what I want to change. Expand my imagination and my understanding so that your surprises are delights further developing my relationship with you. I'm eager to hear from you today – maybe in ways I wasn't expecting. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
