Most of us are probably familiar with the phrase “never judge a book by its’ cover”, but the minds behind The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess did us one better by teaching us we can’t judge a princess by her presentation. While Midna did not always behave in the manner that we were expecting, ultimately it was her actions and the sacrifices she was willing to make that would save the day. Our preconceived notions based on our experience with previous games in the series led us to believe that Princess Zelda was the “Twilight Princess” we were looking for, but the only character who could break the mirror and finally bring peace to both realms was the ACTUAL Twilight Princess Midna… a heroine who had hidden herself in plain sight all along.

The answers the Lord provides to our prayers will often come in forms we wouldn’t expect or even prefer… and the hands He chooses to use are often attached to a very surprising soul. From Jael (the hidden heroine Israel needed), to David (the harp-playing shepherd destined to be the future king) to Christ Himself coming to us from Nazareth, a city that “nothing good comes from”, our Father will rarely deliver the victory we are seeking in a way we’ve heard or seen before. Let’s treat everyone as if they’re an answer to one of our prayers… because some of them are.

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything. Ecclesiastes 11:5

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts”. Isaiah 55:8-9

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45-46
