Crazy!! We heard there might be a storm today, but woke up to sunshine and calm. All the sudden, I looked out the window and saw a blizzard! Ahh, the variety of weather here in Colorado. You never quite know what you're going to get, and we all have gotten pretty good at being flexible (because we have no choice!).
I got to thinking about how that is so much like life. You expect things to happen the way you expect them to. Then, unexpectedly, we find ourselves facing a scenario we never saw coming. Flexibility and a willingness to "roll with the punches" is required in this life, and some of us are better at it than others. John F. Kennedy once said, "The one unchageable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable." In so many ways, this is so true.
But, my thoughts turn to the One who doesn't change, not even a little bit, and Who has promised to walk with us through all the changes we face. Psalm 33:11 says "But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations."
The snow this morning, while suprising to me, was not a surprise to Him. Nothing takes Him by surprise, even though we are often thrown for a loop when the unexpected happens. Just some thoughts I'm pondering today...
