Unexpected Intrusions

 Isaiah 14:27 says, “What the Lord has purposed, who can annul?” This means that God has a purpose for your life. He’s already planned out your days.  He even plans our unexpected intrusions!

When you’re on a detour, don’t get upset or frustrated, it is just one scene in your life. When it all comes together, it’s going to work out for beauty and good.

Time management stalks the world today. While managing time is important, can reduce stress levels and helps us to stay on top of things, we have developed a hostility to any intrusions in our time management schedules.

Someone knocks on our door, we may feel our world shatter as that little knock broke our well-planned schedule into pieces!

Whenever we got resentful of an intrusion, our stress levels are high and we are miserable…

Years ago, a couple got married.  The bridegroom's family was staying at a nearby hotel.  The day after the wedding, the parents of the bridegroom  knocked on the door of the pastor who was probably preparing a message for another conference he was attending.  The parents were not very wealthy, in fact quite poor but they knocked on the door to give Rs. 2000 to the pastor.  The pastor thanked them, took the money, and sharply shut the door on their face.  They were saddened at his rudeness and even thought about it over the years!

Jesus always welcomed intrusions and never chased anyone away.

There is a secret blessing when we take intrusions as sent by God to bless us.  Then, we will be enriched in a deeper way.

Sometimes, an unexpected visitor drops in our home, and then we did drop our well-planned schedules.  By the end, we do feel happier, richer and more relaxed as we go with the flow.. as in a river.

We are blessed in our intrusions when God in a mysterious way actually brings intrusions to us.  So go with the flow as in a river and you will receive wonderful surprises along the way!
