Hidden Hands of God

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”.

Proverbs 3:5

We all have times when our plans don't work out the way we want or our plans are gone to no return. We get delayed, interrupted, and inconvenienced. It's easy to get frustrated and fight against everything that doesn't go our way. But I am learning and I pray that we all as body of Christ would trust the Lord in a way that would bring us to the assurance that not every interruption is bad. Not every closed door means we're doing something wrong. Not every delay means we're not where we're supposed to be. There is something I call divine interruption or the hidden hands of God where God, on purpose, will delay us to protect us from an accident. On purpose, He will close a door because it's not His best. Sometimes, God will allow us to be inconvenienced so we can help someone else in need. We have to be willing to press through difficulty so we can be at the right place at the right time.

His word says in Romans 8:28 “ and we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him”.

This verse is not only about God working things for your good but it’s also about giving you the privilege to partnership with Him ministering to others.

The next time you're interrupted, delayed, or inconvenienced, don't start thinking, "This is a pain. This is getting me off schedule." No, get a new perspective. Look for what God wants to do because it could be divine interruption or divine protection. Trust Him today because He is directing your steps.
