There was a famous line from the TV series A-Team that said, "I love it when a plan comes all together." We all do but that is not often the case. NOTHING is the way we assumed it would be six months ago. Our world has interrupted. Schools, churches, jobs, restaurants...all closed down. Trips canceled. Parties postponed.
But this is nothing new. God has been turning plans upside down FOREVER.
Saul was on his way to murder a bunch of Jesus' followers when God blinded him and turned him into a missionary. Plans changed. Acts 9
Ruth was a refuge looking for grain to feed herself and her mother-in-law but God chose her to be included in the bloodline leading to Jesus.
Each of these people had a moment where God broke into their lives and showed them that His ways are not always our way. His plans are not always our plans.
The trick is, God doesn't always come to us in a blinding light like Paul. He uses a pandemic, a loss, a moment of anger or pain, to turn our plans into His plans.
What plans is God trying to interrupt in your life? Are you ready?
