Navigating Divine Disruptions

I thank God for you.

You've survived a lot.

You and I have survived two of the craziest years known to human history.

But for what? What did God have us survive for?

COVID-19 was a perfect scenario for using the phrase, "It's not my season.".

The timing was perfect.

But now, as we are collectively catch our breath, now what is it time for? Your season to move into purpose may not have come in 2020, but is your time today?

The pitstops to purpose don't always look like what we expect. They may not always be convenient or match our calendar. And yet, God still requires us to embrace those moments of disruption.

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” ~John 2:1-4 New International Version


So how do we know when something is a divine disruption or the devil's detour?

GOD USES INVESTED PEOPLE TO PROVOKE YOU

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” ~John 2:5 NIV

Mary was fully vested in Jesus. From the womb to this very moment, she had proven herself to be a champion of Christ and his future. Many times, those who have demonstrated their commitment to your calling can see you doing great things before you can.

Jesus knew Mary not only as his mother, not only as his protector as a child, but as a woman "favored by God." Even if he didn't see the her request as a point of purpose, he knew God had a track record of using Mary to usher in divine appointments. Is God using someone you trust to provoke you into forward movement? Is the favor on their life obvious? Do they have a track record with Heaven? Then don't dismiss the moment. Divine doesn't have to follow your schedule.

And finally...
