Things just don’t go how we plan them. Life is surprising and not always pleasantly surprising. Where is God when things seem to be falling apart or at least stuck in a dead-end?This week I want to share with you an extended quote from Jon Bloom who is the board chair and co-founder of Desire God Ministries:“The Holy Family’s first few years were not tranquil. They were filled with grueling travel during the hardest part of pregnancy, a birth in worse than a barn, no steady income, an assassination attempt, two desert crossings on foot with an infant, living in a foreign country, waiting on God for guidance and provisions just in the nick of time. It was difficult, expensive, time-consuming, career-delaying and full of uncertainty.And it was God’s will.The unplanned, inefficient detours of our lives are planned by God. They are common for disciples, and they commonly don’t make sense in the moment. But God’s ways are not our ways because our lives are about him, not about us. He is orchestrating far more than we know in every unexpected event and delay.So when you find yourself suddenly moving in a direction you had not planned, take heart, hold tight, and trust God’s navigation.”To prepare for God to speak to us this Sunday, set aside some time and slowly read and pray through Luke 1:1-38. There is so much to learn from this passage. What is the Spirit of God showing you?I can’t wait to worship together this Sunday.Pastor David
