Daily Power By Craig Groeschel: Fuel For Your SoulChikamu

When I think about the wise men, I’m amazed at how willing they were to interrupt their lives and go on a quest to seek baby Jesus. Surely, they were important leaders in their tribes and nations with seemingly more important things to do than traipse all over the world following a star and looking for a baby. However, that’s exactly what they did. And some scholars think the wise men may have been traveling for months, maybe even years, to find the newborn King.

I wonder how often we miss out on God’s invitations to experience Jesus because we’re not willing to interrupt our daily lives and normal schedules. So often we’re too busy, especially during the holiday season, to realize the opportunities that cross our paths each day. Instead we think, “Nah, I don’t have time to invite the neighbors to our church’s Christmas services. They might want to go and then I’d have to go with them and be late for the office party. Which reminds me, I need to pick up a gift for my boss.”

But do you really want to miss out on being part of what God is doing in others’ lives?

God’s interruptions are often invitations to something more significant. Today don’t miss out on the blessing of participating in God’s plan because you’re too busy. Allow God’s Spirit to interrupt your plans and reveal the joy of giving.

Power Lift: This time of year gets so hectic, Lord, and I lose sight of the reason you humbled yourself and came to earth. Help me let go of my agenda so I can bless others with your love.
