Sacred Serendipity - Today's Insight - August 10, 2017

Seren-dip-ity–the dip of the serene into the common responsibilities of life.

Serendipity occurs when something beautiful breaks into the monotonous and the mundane. A serendipitous life is marked by "surprisability" and spontaneity. When we lose our capacity for either, we settle into life's ruts. We expect little, and we're seldom disappointed.

Though I have walked with God for several decades, I must confess I still find much about Him incomprehensible and mysterious. But this much I know: He delights in surprising us. He dots our pilgrimage from earth to heaven with amazing serendipities . . . .

Your situation may be as hot and barren as a desert or as forlorn and meaningless as a wasteland . . . . But all I ask is that you . . . be on the lookout. God may very well be planning a serendipity in your life.
