This past week, a friend was telling me about an

unexpected blessing. From out of the blue, some anonymous

benefactor gave his family a $100 gift card for a local restaurant.

He was so incredibly blessed and shocked. He just didn't see it

coming. Last week, we began our four week series in the book of

Ruth. (If you were gone, I think you'd be greatly encouraged if you

would listen to the podcast by clicking here). And last week we saw

that, in chapter 1, Naomi was convinced that a sovereign God had

abandoned her in bitterness. But in chapter 2, we're going to see

how God drops an unexpected blessing into Naomi's lap. Life is like

that, isn't it? Just when we think we've got things all figured

out, God unexpectedly drops a blessing into our lives. It might be

a material, physical, or spiritual blessing. It might be an

envelope filled with just the right amount of cash to keep the

lights on. Or it might be something as innocent as a baby. Just

when we think that God has left us alone, he unexpectedly shows up

into our lives, and he pours out his loving kindness. This Sunday,

I pray that you're prepared to look deep into your heart, to see

just how the Lord God Almighty might unexpectedly be working in

you! As always, I can't wait to see you Sunday. Pastor
