Inviting God To Interrupt
Day 5: Inviting God to Interrupt
Reading: Acts 2:1-4; Isaiah 55:8-9
Devotional:
After ten days of worship and prayer, the Holy Spirit came with power—in a way no one expected. Tongues of fire, rushing wind, supernatural boldness. God's ways are not our ways. The disciples had positioned themselves to receive whatever God wanted to do, however He wanted to do it. Are you willing to let God interrupt your plans? Most of us want God to bless our agenda, not redirect it. We pray, "God, here's what I'm doing for You—please make it work." But discipleship requires surrendering control: "God, my agenda is Yours. My day is cleared. You lead." This is uncomfortable because God might take us directions we didn't plan. He might call us to things that don't make sense. But when we truly invite Him to lead—when we stop, worship, and wait in His presence with open hands—He fills us with power beyond ourselves and leads us into purposes beyond our imagination. Today, pray this dangerous prayer: "God, interrupt my plans. I'm Yours."
Closing Reflection:
As we approach Easter, remember that the resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning. The disciples' ten days of waiting transformed them from uncertain followers into bold witnesses. The same Holy Spirit who empowered them is available to you. Will you create space to wait with God? Will you choose worship over distraction, community over isolation, surrender over control? The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. And He's inviting you into the greatest mission of all: sharing His love with a world that desperately needs Him.
