Timeless Interruptions

 

Every day we face the inevitable interruptions that we do not plan or hope for, but rarely do we accept the twist and turns in our days and just go with the flow. Most of all when it comes to the very details of our lives, we have a very hard time seeing through interruptions and try at times to control that which we have no control over.

 

Even though we all experience interruptions in different ways and times, we need to come to realize that interruptions are not such a horrible thing as we make them out to be. Sometimes interruptions are just timeless lessons for us to learn from and are pieces of the whole—visions, goals, plans, and even dreams.

 

Sometimes we become so focused on the whole that we forget to sow into ourselves and cultivate our relationship with God, which causes us to lose sight of walking in the flow of what He has. When we lose sight of walking in the flow, any little interruption throws us for a loop, and we assume that we are heading into a set back or become impatient with the delay.

 

However, in our timeless interruptions we need to see that God reveals Himself to us bit by bit, and even our broadest visions, highest goals, most detailed plans, and buoyant dreams need to be broken down and lived in the flow of what is taking place here and now.

 

At times we cannot make heads or tails of our interruptions and that is okay; we need to learn that we don't have to know all the details of why we encounter interruptions or try to force our lives in to a mold that is void of interruptions.

 

And, lastly, regardless of the interruptions we experience hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly, we need to remember to continue to serve God with joyful hearts and gladness. Taking time to step back and seek what God is leading us in and learning from the moment all that the timeless interruptions may have for us to discover and mature in.

 

 

 

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who made us, and we not ourselves.

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

 

Psalm 100:2-3
