Divine disruptions

Often in our lives we encounter some disruptions which causes us to pause and ask: WHY LORD?
Why indeed! In Jeremiah 29:11 we see God's answer to that "why". He knows the plan He has for us. We may not know how or why we fit into the great picture that God has in mind, but that we do fit in there somewhere is a given fact.
When we do encounter an obstacle, the test is in how we react. Do we, like little Samuel say: Here I am Lord! or do we balk and try and do things our way? Do we recognise that God might have some greater plan in our lives or do we turn our backs and head our way?
Let us consider for a moment an old hero named Noah. God was displeased with the way His creation (humans) had been living. So displeased, in fact that He decided to destroy all the earth in a great flood. So He also decided to choose 1 man and his family to be spared. When Noah was an old man already, God disrupted his life by telling him to build something that Noah had probably never even seen in his life, let alone built before - The Ark.
Then God told Him that something is going to happen that was also quite astonishing: God was to let the rain fall to flood the earth. Now imagine for a while how that must have sounded to the people of those days. They are living in a desert country, where it seldom if ever rained. Now this ancient old man is there, in the middle of this desert-country, not just busy building a enormous boat with no water anywhere near it, but building it big enough so that a pair of every living thing on this earth, plus enough foodstuffs to feed them all, plus enough to be able to plant crops again, could fit in it. Now imagine how Noah must have been tormented by these people. He must have been ridiculed relentlessly day and night by all these people, who he was, at the same time, trying to warn of impending doom! What a disruption! Noah must have been a man of high standing in his community; now he was known as (I imagine) an old senile crackpot! Because Noah was a man of God, he decided to yield to this disruption in his life, and as a result, God's people, from which our Messiah would eventually be born, continued to exist.
Another example of people prepared to yield to God's disruption, is Joseph and Maria. In spite of the fact that Maria could have been stoned to death for being pregnant out of wedlock, and despite the fact that Joseph had to live with the knowledge that his fiance is pregnant with a child he did not sire. (Dads, guys, imagine for a moment your daughter or your fiance came home one day and told you: I'm pregnant. An angel told me that I am to give birth to a boy who will save the world! WHAT WOULD YOUR REACTION BE?) They yielded to this great disruption in their lives, so that God's greatest plan of mercy for mankind, could come to pass: The birth of the Messiah that was to die for our sins.
How often have we been faced with disruptions of such a magnitude, that we do not know how to continue? That we feel we'd rather run away, than to be still and allow God to do great things through us? Do we ever see these disruptions as God's way to call us to task? Or do we just try and get through them without even considering that He might have a greater plan?
The point I want to make here tonight is this: God has a plan for each and every one of us. He already knows which routes He want your lives to take to the ultimate fulfillment of His masterplan.
Are we ready to yield?
