Proverbs 16:9 - Divine Detours.
Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) In his heart a man plans
his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
COMMENTARY PEARL
A while back I was scheduled on a flight
back to Los Angeles, but I missed it. I had a
connection in Dallas, and my flight was late getting
there. So, I had to take a different one.
I had planned to do some work on board,
so I asked the flight attendant if there was a
place to plug in my computer.
Yes, there is, she told me. And
by the way, Im a Christian. Nice to see you,
Pastor Greg.
Then, about two hours into the flight she
asked if she could talk to me. She started to cry
as she told me about a crisis she was facing -
a very serious one. So, I shared some
Scripture with her, and we prayed together about it.
Afterward she said that she follows me on
social media and knew I was traveling for a
speaking engagement. She had prayed that I would be
on her flight. I knew the Lord was going to
put you on this flight, she told me,
because like you posted on Instagram, an
interruption is a divine intervention.
I was thrilled with that. And it reminded
me that extraordinary things often happen in
ordinary circumstances. I didnt receive a message
from God that day like someone in a Mission
Impossible movie. God didnt speak to me audibly and
tell me what my mission was.
In fact, I would suggest to you that
sometimes out-of-the-ordinary things will happen in
our lives to get our attention. Because what may
seem to you like a coincidence is actually
Providence. And what you may perceive as an interruption
actually may be a divine intervention.
So, when something happens out of the
ordinary - and this year, it seems more than likely -
pay attention. The Lord may be leading you. The
Lord may want to use you for His purposes. [Greg
