"Serendipity Moments"

 We are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
  unto good works

                                          Ephesian 2:10 KJV

          

Serendipity, according to Merriam-webster's
Collegiate Dictionary, is "the faculty or
phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable
things not sought for." We sometimes call it an
"accident, dumb luck, or fate," but serendipity
has given us new products and better ways of
doing things.

    We all know examples of serendipity, such
as Columbus' discovery of America while
searching for a route to india. Maple syrup was
discovered by Native Americans when, needing
water, they boiled off the sap. Westward-
traveling pioneers looking for water stopped at a
stream for a drink and found gold nuggets in the
water.

    While George Ballas was driving his car
through a car wash, he had a moment of
serendipity that made him a millionaire. As he
watch the strings of the brushes cleaning his car,
he turned his mind to his list of things to do,
among them edging his lawn.

    Suddenly an idea "popped" into his head. He
took another long look at the strings on the
rotating brush. The strings straightened out
when turning at high speed, but were still
flexible enough to reach into every nook and
cranny of his car to get it clean. He asked
himself, Why not use a nylon cord, whirling at
high speed, to trim the grass and weed around
the trees an the house? His idea his Weed eater.

     Where do we get new idea? God is the
Master behind serendipity! He may not always
give you a Million Dollar idea, but He will
make you more creative. One expert gives this
advice: Capture the the ideas, jot them down
quickly before they are gone, and evaluate
later. Take time to daydream with the Lord.
Seek new challenges. Expand your perspective.
 Learn and do new things.

     Remember today that God is your Creator
and the Creator of everything on the universe.
Ask Him to inspire you with new ideas that can
glorify Him and benefit others. We are
co-creator with him!
