Least Expected
Throughout the Bible, there is account after account of how God showed Himself strong on behalf of the people.
I have shared this before, but it bears repeating. I was working in the woods one day, just praising Him and having a great time in fellowship. I suddenly felt something deep inside of me I had never felt before, and I have never felt it since. I had this energy coming from within me that started about 8:00 in the morning. It was an energy that I can't even properly describe. All I know is that I couldn't run out of it.
The harder I worked and the more energy I used, more energy took its place. Not only what I used, but the energy was coming faster than I could use it. It got to the point where walking just wasn't cutting it, so I started to run. I couldn't outrun the energy that was coming. At 5:00 in the afternoon, I finally announced to heaven that it was time to go home. The energy source immediately ended.
There is no verse that accounts for that day. It was simply a gift from my Father. Most of the time, we use our faith to change situations. But there are those times when God shows up when we aren't expecting anything. What I can say for sure is that the praise I was doing was key to God showing Himself strong on my behalf that day.
