Surprise

Surprise... Surprise!

Imagine her surprise, when Rebekah learned that she will marry a man that she never heard of nor ever seen (Gen. 24)! Nonetheless, she was surprised beyond her wildest expectations. Likewise, every believer is blessed with a perpetual and personal relationship with Jesus Christ who far exceeds any thing we could possibly have dreamed.

So what does this mean for us while we travel through this world that blurs this reality? Trust! It all comes down to trust. Rebekah fell in love at no sight of her groom. She traveled by faith and not sight. Her faith was well equipped with promises and dreams and potential. Like Rebekah, we are to live by faith not sight (2 Cor. 5:7). Rebekah's life was characterized by faithfulness, fruitfulness, and peacefulness. Why? Faith over sight! She walked in the light of God's will and not the sight of fear.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
