Interruptions

So, what is a planned interruption anyway?  By one definition, an interruption is an abrupt occurrence or delay in continuity.  We had a planned fire drill at school today so was it really an interruption or not? ,God sends interruptions into our lives and most times we balk!  It may be a phone call while we're running out the door or road construction.  Most of us pack way too much into our schedules anyway and end up frustrated at having to squeeze in anything unplanned.  Author Annie Keary notes that
interruptions can be "trials sent by God to help one against getting selfish over one's work."  Why, doesn't God know how busy we are!  He sure does and those divine appointments just may be the greatest work we'll do in any one day.  Deuteronomy 15:10 says, "The Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto."  In truth, we should see those interruptions not as a waste of time but [rather] part of what we have to offer God. Let's practice giving Him our  interruptions today; after all, He planned them!
