WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 16-20

"Then Samuel asked, Are these all the sons you have? There is still the youngest, Jesse replied. But he's out in the field watching sheep." 1 Samuel 16:11 NLT

Samuel and the people of Israel had asked for a king. Who God sent them looked nothing like what they expected--a ruddy faced, young shepherd with attention-grabbing eyes.

God's ways don't always look like what we think they should, do they?

His answers don't always line up with what we'd asked.

His plans don't always coincide with the timeline we've designed in our heads and hearts.

But what He does is right. What He chooses to put into place fits perfectly. How He chooses to move--and when, are ordained to bring Him glory and honor.

So when He answers today, don't overlook it because it's not what/how/when you'd imagined it would be!
