Divine Detours

One of the core biblical truths about Jesus is that He is the Son of God who was born as a baby boy at Bethlehem. He is "fully God" and "fully human." At the core of our faith in Jesus is this truth: redemption comes through divine detours.

Like Jesus, we are called to be part of God's plan. The Good Samaritan had a divine detour to help the man who was bleeding out by the road called "the Way of Blood." It cost him: risk, personal involvement, time, and money. But some times life's interruptions are God's opportunities. (Luke 10:25-32)

Let's stay ready for the "divine detours" God has for us this week. As one man said to me today, "If you are going to sincerely live out your belief, then take the detour."

Do you have a story of a divine detour that you can share?
