Surprise!

Surprises color our days with changes

 and challenges.

The big difference between reality and

 our expectations continues

 to hit and humiliate us.

Didn't you know that all men are liars ?

 Didn't you know 

that you will not be young forever?

 Didn't you know

that macaronis don't grow in trees?

People surprise us, world events, tragedies,

 unexpected turn of things,

 new technology and death...

The occurrence of surprises

is based on the assumption

that we know the basic rules

 and causalities in life.

Surprises make us aware

 of our never-ending ignorance.

Mark 12:24

Jesus told the Sadducees that they will err,

 not knowing 

the Scriptures not the power of God.

Some surprises in the plan of God

 can be avoided by

simply hiding the Word in our hearts.

Man increases in knowledge

 but knowledge alone is

not enough to prepare us

 for the things to come.

Faith will lead us the way

 where we will not be ashamed.

It is surrounded with hope

 that will not disappoint us.

Romans 5:5

Maybe nothing will shock us anymore,

 but I'm sure that

our greatest surprises

 in life are still to come.

Ignorance keeps us often

 embarrassingly unprepared.
