We experienced God in many aspects of our daily life. We heard many other Christians' testimonies. These are good and they indeed help us to understand God, but it's terribly wrong if we believe we have figured out sort of protocols of how God works.
Paul and Silas traveled to Philippi after Paul had seen the vision of Macedonia. Just a couple of days, they were put into jail. If I were Silas, I would ask Paul, "hey, are you sure the guy in your dream is really a Macedonian?"., as I expect such a direct message from God "should" lead to an exciting journey.
When I bought my car from a friend, it was possible to reduce (or even avoid) the tax by lying about the price. I decided not to, and spent several hundred bucks. To be honest, I had a feeling that God "should" bless the car and me. Unfortunately, the car did bring me troubles, I spent more than a thousand on fixing it.
Clearly, God is not working according to a manual we wrote, and he is the one who has absolute right to do whatever on us. We are servant and he is the Lord. To bear in mind is, his will is good, pleasing and perfect.
