I love the familiar; it’s a trait I have discovered about myself.
I found out that I am not so keen on trying out new recipes, visiting new places, making friends easily, opening up freely, relocating to a new place, having my schedules interrupted, etc. Thank God I have a husband who is directly opposite; life could have been boring.
I recently found myself in a circumstance I didn’t plan for. I can’t ever remember having to have sulked, whined, complained, or cried shamelessly like I have done the past few days.
As I was doing the dish this evening, I heard the voice of the Spirit whisper in my heart, “Ryta, life is not all about you. Make room for divine interruption.”
It quieted the storm raging in my heart.
Isn’t that what we pray for every day? The prayer that defined the turning point in the battle Jesus fought and won at Gethsemane even before He went to the cross – yet not as I will, but as You will.
God’s will has a way of interrupting our so-called ‘put-together plan’.
But our confidence must lie in the assurance of God’s word: For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Would you make room for divine interruption?
