We can make our plans,
but the Lord determines our steps.
—Proverbs 16:9
How’s your day going? Any interruptions? Intrusions?
A day seldom goes as planned. Irritating interruptions and irksome intrusions regularly torpedo your schedule.
All bad? Not necessarily.
It may be testing you to see how you respond to inconvenience. How you handle schedule disruption tells you a lot about yourself—if you’re listening.
Or it may be that God is using you to extend his grace to someone who needs a lift. Instead of being annoyed, be grateful—God has honored you by choosing you to represent him.
That interruption could turn out to be the most important thing that happens on your calendar today.
Something more encouraging than a phone
that never rings is one that does.
