You wake up and prepare for your day. Another day at work. You pass in your typical morning routine, mainly without even thinking about what you are doing. Every day he feels the same. They gather you and leave work, ready to address your “pending tasks” list. Most of the days, the projects are in the file and you have limited time and much to do. The interactions it has with co -workers and customers are limited. He does not have time to speak, since the deadlines and responsibilities are pressing. A cordial greeting, how are you, it is good to see you, and then you are on their way to the following?
What happens if this is not the way in which we are supposed to operate? What happens if our daily “interruptions and” interactions “are really divine quotes? What would happen if we were so consumed with our lists and responsibilities that we really notice to those around us? Jesus was a “news.” He had things to do, places to go and elements on his agenda, but noticed those around him and allowed these “divine interruptions” to invade his plan.
“Shortly after, Jesus went with his disciples to Nain’s village, and a great crowd followed him. A funeral procession was coming out when he approached the village door. The young man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a large crowd of the village was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart filled with compassion. He said. Then the dead child began to speak and he began to speak and he began to speak and he began to speak. 11-15
Jesus and his disciples headed to his next city. Jesus had things to do and places to be. A great crowd was following him. However, as he was on the road, he found a funeral procession. The Scriptures say that “when the Lord saw her, his heart is full of compassion.” In the midst of his trip, he saw her. He noticed his pain. And he stopped and comforted her. He stopped his plan and comforted the person right in front of him. I could see the widow. I could feel his pain.
Jesus surely had things to do and, in essence, was very busy in his mission, but still took the time to notice those in need. He was aware of those around him and stopped his plan for a moment to minister those around him. What happens if we lack opportunities to minister others because we are so focused on our plans, projects and agendas that we cannot take time to be interrupted? What happens if we stop allowing the hustle and bustle of this life to consume us so we did not eclipse the needs of those around us? That we start to live alert every day and notice the “divine interruptions” where God can use us in the lives of others.
