I really enjoyed this article and I think you've brought up a much needed awareness of God's playfulness.
Now I hope this doesn't mess with your theology, but I have even experienced God humorously "tricking" me from time-to-time. I am going down a path I think God has shown me, and then I suddenly sort of "wake up" and realize I am going down a completely different path I didn't expect, that I never would have thought of (but eventually proved to be the best one).
I think God plays hide and seek with me, so I can go down your path of God "tricking" you. I love reframing it like that too because I often see those as heavy times, instead of playful ones.

What a great encouragement and invitation!
Love this so much. Thanks, Jamie.
