Inconvenient Blessings: Trusting God in Life’s Little Detours
Have you ever experienced a small mishap—a coffee spill on your shirt before work, spilling food in the kitchen, missing your bus, kids causing the entire family to be late, taking the wrong exit, or facing delays in travel—and you felt frustration , anxiety or stress? I want to remind you that these seemingly annoying inconveniences might actually be blessings in disguise.
What feels like a hassle can be God’s way of redirecting us for a purpose. When we’re caught in traffic or delayed, it’s easy to wonder why everything seems to go wrong. But often, these detours protect us from unseen dangers. Maybe you got stuck in traffic and luckily a few minutes earlier this may have been you but you missed an accident that was ahead—or had to turn around and arrived late, preventing a potential injury or worse.
Even in moments where we don’t understand why things happen, we can trust that God is guiding our steps. Sometimes, what disrupts our plans is actually leading us to what’s best for us, even when we can’t see it at the time.
Remember, as Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us—trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. He will direct your paths.
Quote of the Day:
“Sometimes, the smallest delays are God’s way of protecting you from bigger storms ahead.”
No matter how inconvenient life gets, trust that you are being led where you’re meant to be. Every detour is divine protection, and every interruption is an opportunity for God’s plan to unfold in your life.
