Happy Wednesday my friends. I’ve been so encouraged by the posts that have been shared over the past few days. The posts written have been the reminder and comfort my soul has needed and today post does the same. Below is a post by one of my favorite authors – DiAnn Mills. Be encouraged!
Life is filled with interruptions, and while some people term these intrusions into their day as frustrating, I consider them grace-filled opportunities.
Nothing happens in our lives without God’s knowledge or approval. His love bathes our every breath and reassures the disruptions to our plans are designed for our spiritual growth.
We were created for relationship with God as a form of worship. We were also created for relationship with others to glorify God’s name. How wonderful to view an interruption as a blessing and means of worshipping God.
The following are three truths about God to remember when an interruption threatens to steal our joy:
God loves me beyond my imagination.
John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
Romans 8:31 ESV “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
God has allowed this situation for my good.
Psalm 111:10 ESV “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!”
Proverbs 3:5 ESV “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
[clickToTweet tweet=”God desires me to praise Him in all my circumstances.” quote=”God desires me to praise Him in all my circumstances.”]
Psalm 34:1 ESV “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
Psalm 150:6 ESV “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!”
The next time you are interrupted and are prompted to respond in anger or dismay, remember our God allowed this moment for your good. How will you respond?
