When God disrupts our plans, it can be easy to focus on what the disruption is doing to us. We think about what changed, what became uncomfortable, and why things are no longer going the way we expected. However, while we are focused on what is happening in the moment, God sees the greater purpose He has for our lives.
This is why our response to disruption matters. When God’s direction looks different from what we had planned, we do not have to spend all of our energy trying to understand why things changed. We can use that moment to draw closer to God and seek greater clarity about where He is leading us.
The more time we spend with God, the more we begin to understand His heart, His direction, and His purpose for our lives. We may not see the entire picture at once, but staying close to Him helps us move beyond focusing only on the inconvenience of what changed and begin paying attention to what God is doing in our lives.
Family, when your plans are disrupted, do not allow the disruption to become your entire focus. Keep spending time with God, keep seeking Him, and allow Him to give you greater clarity about His purpose and where He is leading you.
“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” - Philippians 2:13
