But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins… When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Matthew 1:18–25 (NIV)

Joseph’s PLANS were wrecked. God’s PLANS weren’t.

When LIFE takes a turn, God is still PRESENT.

Sometimes the INTERRUPTION is the INVITATION.

Don’t FIGHT the interruption. FOLLOW God into it.

HOW DO WE FOLLOW GOD INTO

THE INTERRUPTIONS WE DIDN’T PLAN?

Stay FAITHFUL with what you DO know.

SURRENDER what you can’t control.

TRUST that God is writing a better story.

BOTTOM LINE:

Your UNEXPECTED journey is part of God’s PERFECT story.

THE CHALLENGE:

Write down one unexpected change in your life and how you believe God might be using it for you good.
