Unplanned?

The thought from the daily reading passage leapt at me, as if it was especially meant for me today.

It talked about having a full calendar, busy with meetings, problems to solve, things to do. Despite all this planning, there's always a whole host of unplanned events which complicate the day. During the reading of this passage I took note; this could have been my life over the last few months, full of sudden changes, having to think again, battling frustration...

The reading went on to list a few notable 'interruptions' from the normal routine, times when things certainly didn't go to plan...

Mary's plans were interrupted by the arrival of an angel. Her life would be turned upside down (Luke 1:26-31).

Saul's journey to Damascus was interrupted - his life changed forever thanks to that interruption (Acts 9:1-9).

Man's plans aren't the same as God's plans. But His way is best. Deal with it; roll with it. What He has in plan is awesome!
