Readings: Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24. 2Cor 8:7,9, 13-15. Mk 5:21-43
Sometimes, our plans are disrupted. We’re on our way to some place. We’re on our way to achieve some goal. According to our own estimations, our course is the best. Our plans are perfect, our intentions pure (or, at the least, good). Our potential marriage partner is the best candidate. Our childhood career goal is the loftiest. Ideally, we wouldn’t appreciate these plans being disrupted.
Our experience, however, shows us that, sometimes, disruption of our plans may be one of the best things happening to us. At the moment, we may not like it that someone is distracting us from our life-saving mission. We’re not aware that the seeming distraction could be of benefit to many more people than we’d planned. It could even be to our own advantage (such as saving us from an ambush). It could be a loss, a chance meeting, a delay, a wall, etc. God could use those disruptions for His own purposes, in His own ways.
May Jesus Christ, the Master of life, restore in you all that has been sick or dead. May He redirect your life according to divine superior plans.
