Most of us would agree that the year of 2020 has brought with it a series of interruptions to our normal lives. And Scripture instructs us that although we may make plans, God directs our steps (see Prov. 16:9).
Pastor Joshua Reyes, host of Legacy Podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network, reminds us that God “has given us free will to do as we please. But … He often guides and directs [His children] to do certain things. Sometimes God completely disrupts what we were in the middle of doing so that His greater will could be accomplished. Sometimes we see it coming, and sometimes we don’t,” Reyes says. “Whether it’s for the purpose of correction, redirection or acceleration, we should be ready for God to interrupt our schedules and agendas.”
Reyes also urges us to expect the Lord’s interruptions. “Sometimes God interrupts our normal lives to supernaturally accelerate us and bless us … we should be ready for God to interrupt us,” he says. “He has great plans for us and always has something good in store for His children.
“Whatever changes have interrupted your life recently, seek the Lord and ask Him what He’s doing. Be obedient to whatever guidance He gives—and watch how amazingly things can shift. “
