Daily Word: God Directs and Redirects Through Interruptions: Trusting God Through Challenges
Psalms 23:4 KJV “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Life is full of unexpected interruptions. Whether it’s a job loss, death, a health issue, or a natural disaster, these moments often leave us feeling confused and uncertain. However, these interruptions can also be a redirection from God. They are opportunities to strengthen our faith and draw closer to Him. When we face problems, we learn that God can solve them. As the old saying goes, “If I never had a problem, I would not know God could solve them.”

In the Bible, we see many examples of God using interruptions for His purpose. In Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV), it says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” This reminds us to trust God, even when life’s interruptions don’t make sense.
The story of Job teaches us about God’s redirection through suffering. Job, a righteous man, lost everything—his family, wealth, and health. However, through his trials, Job learned to trust God more deeply. In Job 23:10 (KJV), Job declares, “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job’s story shows us that God allows interruptions in our lives to purify our faith and bring us closer to Him.
Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV) says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God’s plans are beyond our understanding, but through interruptions, He leads us according to His will.
Reflection on Job’s Story
The story of Job teaches us about perseverance and faith during life’s hardest moments. Even when everything was taken from him, Job remained faithful to God, and in the end, he was restored. This teaches us that God uses our trials to refine us, and what seems like an interruption may be a part of His greater plan for our lives.
