Please Excuse the Interruption

Interruptions. How do we handle those inconvenient distractions to our routines? Those unexpected phone calls, people who must speak to us NOW, and the demanding children around us can really pull us away from where we are headed at the moment.
But what about the bigger interruptions in life? What about the loss of job? What about a change in health or the loss of a loved one? What about when we were headed in a direction that we thought God was calling us and it turned out to be an absolute disaster? How do we handle those? We can throw up our hands and cry FOUL. Or we can crawl into a howl and wish it would go away. But it doesn’t always just go away.
This week’s message focuses on the time of the interruption. We talk about those who saw the interruptions and that weren’t mere opportunities. They were a trying time. But they were a time when God said simply, “Be still, and Go On.”
