Proverbs 16:9 - Divine Detours.

Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) In his heart a man plans 
his course, but the LORD determines his steps.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   A while back I was scheduled on a flight 
back to Los Angeles, but I missed it. I had a 
connection in Dallas, and my flight was late getting 
there. So, I had to take a different one. 
   I had planned to do some work on board, 
so I asked the flight attendant if there was a 
place to plug in my computer. 
   Yes, there is, she told me. And 
by the way, Im a Christian. Nice to see you, 
Pastor Greg. 
   Then, about two hours into the flight she 
asked if she could talk to me. She started to cry 
as she told me about a crisis she was facing - 
a very serious one. So, I shared some 
Scripture with her, and we prayed together about it. 
   Afterward she said that she follows me on 
social media and knew I was traveling for a 
speaking engagement. She had prayed that I would be 
on her flight. I knew the Lord was going to 
put you on this flight, she told me, 
because like you posted on Instagram, an 
interruption is a divine intervention. 
   I was thrilled with that. And it reminded 
me that extraordinary things often happen in 
ordinary circumstances. I didnt receive a message 
from God that day like someone in a Mission 
Impossible movie. God didnt speak to me audibly and 
tell me what my mission was. 
   In fact, I would suggest to you that 
sometimes out-of-the-ordinary things will happen in 
our lives to get our attention. Because what may 
seem to you like a coincidence is actually 
Providence. And what you may perceive as an interruption 
actually may be a divine intervention. 
   So, when something happens out of the 
ordinary - and this year, it seems more than likely - 
pay attention. The Lord may be leading you. The 
Lord may want to use you for His purposes. [Greg
