Detours & Delays

May I encourage you?

The past two weeks I've been ...bombarded... by unusual delays and detours. Bombarded, like 1 thing after another. Today, I was on the interstate stuck in traffic ...which made me 30 min late for an event I was really looking forward to attending. In a moment when I could've chosen to be frustrated and complain, I asked God for favor upon my arrival, turned up the volume on the praise music I was listening to, and continued to sing at the top of my lungs!

When I arrived, the venue was packed and the closest parking lot (which required a decal) was blocked off!! Since I didn't have the required decal anyways, this should've forced me to park far away and hike back to the venue. But as I calmly circled back around, I found another entrance to the parking lot and ran into a parking attendant. I really needed to park close (for personal reasons) so I asked him were there any closer general parking spacing available. He said "no" ...but ..."I can do you a solid." The gentleman walked, as I drove behind him, to a parking space about 10 yards away, and ....ushered ....me into a reserved parking space.

-Don't despise detours or delays: God is simply making room for you!

-Be intentional about responding well: Your attitude, and words, during set-backs matter!

-Try again: There's always another way!

-Credentials don't qualify you, nor do they deny you: Ask (?), like you belong there!

-God is making a transfer: The last shall be first!

-Be kind to the least of them: They may have your answer!

2025 is positioned to be an incredible year if our life is yielded to the Lordship of Jesus Christ! Catch the wave!
