We woke up today with a plan for the day. We have a plan of how to get through the day. In some ways we have an intentional plan, while in other ways we operate out of habit. Even though we have things all planned out and are prepared to face the day, may I suggest that we remember to let go of our agenda and leave room for God's agenda. Sometimes we can miss what God wants to do in our lives because we won't allow Him to disrupt our plans. When God wants to let us in on His agenda often it looks like an inconvenience to us.
I'm reminded of the story of Moses. It's says one day he was walking and noticed a bush burning and not being burned. The Bible says the following .....
So Moses said, "I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up." (Exodus 3:3 NASB)
Moses could have kept walking. He could have stuck to his plans for the day, but no, he allowed his plans to be interrupted. He turned aside.
Look at what the Bible says happened next...
When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." (Exodus 3:4 NASB)
Notice when God saw that Moses turned aside, God began to speak to him. This whole scenario was the beginning of God telling Moses that he was the man who was going to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let God's people go. And it all started with Moses turning aside.
Be encouraged today, if God interrupts our plans it's a good thing, and there is probably a good reason. I can't guarantee that everything in your life will go smooth and you won't have any problems in your life by allowing yourself to be open to God's agenda, but you can go through life having peace knowing you are trying your best to follow what God wants to do in your life.
