Interruptions. I hate them, you probably do too. For me, I like a schedule, I enjoy routine, and I plan on being early. Interruptions, well, interrupt the plans that I have for myself. But often God will use interruptions that feel at the time quite inconvenient. Today’s challenge/reading was about seeing how God works through things not on our agenda.
I am grateful that God cares enough about me, and people, to interrupt my plans. There are times when I am doing what I have planned, and not necessarily what God full plan is. God is good about steering us back onto the path that He has laid out before us.
But I am curious, how do you handle interruptions? I get bothered by slow drivers, people who chat it up with the cashier when I am in line, and all kinds of other things. But maybe God has a purpose in slowing down my day. Instead of rushing from point A to point B, I’m working on paying more attention to the things going on around me in the present. Tomorrow will worry about itself, but so will the rest of today. I am keeping my eyes open for opportunity in the interruptions, are you?
