Philippians 2:3-4 NIV — Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Have you ever had an interruption to your day that later turned out to be a blessing? Steven Furtick, pastor of  Elevation Church, once said, “Sometimes the interruption is the assignment.” At the moment, we may not realize the ramifications of the interruption. In fact sometimes we are frustrated when we are interrupted, but I encourage you to be open to what each interruption could do for you and the kingdom of God. 

Several years ago, Julie and Ray met to discuss his retirement. They each heeded the urge from God to veer off of the usual retirement rhetoric and share a piece of their family history together. Now each of us have realized that interruption was a divine appointment that would blossom into the blessing of the three of us working together on Water Walkers to share God’s word. What a blessing! We are so thankful. Take some time to reflect on times you have been interrupted that later you realize God was using you as a servant for Him. 

Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, open my eyes to Your divine interruptions. May I heed Your nudges and respond to Your interruptions as an agent of Christ. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
