Good Morning!

Good morning, beloved! This Saturday, November 22nd, brings us a powerful reminder to embrace divine interruptions—God’s timing always trumps our carefully crafted timelines. As you step into this weekend, remember that His purposes prevail over our plans, and what may seem like disruptions are often divine appointments in disguise.

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, make us flexible instruments in Your hands today. Help us release our rigid schedules and embrace Your perfect timing. When our plans are interrupted, give us eyes to see Your divine appointments and hearts ready to respond to Your leading.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.

Daily Inspiration

Proverbs 19:21 declares, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” This timeless wisdom reminds us that while we may meticulously plan our days, weeks, and years, God’s sovereign purpose ultimately guides our steps. His interruptions aren’t obstacles—they’re opportunities wrapped in unexpected packaging.

Consider how Jesus Himself constantly embraced interruptions. On His way to heal Jairus’s daughter, He stopped for a woman who touched His cloak. That “interruption” became a powerful testimony of faith and healing. What seems like a detour in our schedule might be the main road in God’s plan. Today, welcome the unexpected with open arms, knowing that interruptions often introduce the very breakthroughs we’ve been praying for.

In Proverbs 12:17, it says, "An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies." In today’s world, finding honest, fact-based news can be a challenge. That’s why 1440 delivers daily news that’s free from opinions and bias—just the facts, helping you stay informed with truth.

Question of the day

How can I distinguish between a divine interruption and a mere distraction in my daily life?

Scripture teaches us to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Divine interruptions often carry peace despite inconvenience, align with biblical principles, and bear fruit that glorifies God. When faced with unexpected changes, pray for discernment—James 1:5 promises that God gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Look for opportunities to serve, love, or witness that arise from disruptions. Remember, divine interruptions often involve people needing help, unexpected opportunities for ministry, or moments that redirect us from potential harm.

Moment of Reflection

Take a moment to recall a time when your cancelled plans turned into a divine appointment. Perhaps a delayed flight led to a meaningful conversation, or a changed meeting opened doors for unexpected ministry. These memories serve as testimonies of God’s faithful orchestration in our lives. What schedule or plan needs surrendering to God’s agenda today? Release it now, trusting that His purpose will prevail.

Thought for the day

The beauty of divine interruptions lies in their transformative power. When we clutch our agendas too tightly, we risk missing the miraculous moments God has woven into the fabric of our ordinary days. Think about the apostle Paul—his imprisonment, which seemed like the ultimate interruption to his ministry, resulted in epistles that have guided believers for centuries. Joseph’s detour through slavery and prison positioned him to save nations from famine.

These biblical examples teach us that God’s interruptions often serve a greater purpose than our original plans ever could. They develop our character, deepen our dependence on Him, and position us for purposes beyond our imagination. Today, instead of viewing interruptions as frustrations, see them as invitations—invitations to participate in God’s grander narrative.

Closing Blessing

May you walk through this day with holy flexibility, ready to pivot at heaven’s prompting. May every interruption become an intersection where God’s purpose meets your availability. Go forth with confidence, knowing that the Lord who began a good work in you will complete it, even through unexpected detours.
