Like it or not, we best plan for them, interruptions, for they seem to happen more than most like or appreciate regardless; be they casual or of great importance.  Those of you that like your uninterrupted schedule and yet have open doors know well this is true.
But imagine this scene!  “The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple of God.”  It’s one thing for a speaker or pastor with a message to be interrupted by a baby’s cry or an occasional snore or comment, but to be interrupted by God Himself in the middle of speaking on His behalf! In Jesus speak, are we not interrupted to care for others crossing our path, regardless of the path?, as He leads?
The commander of Israel’s army “was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand.  Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?”  A challenge to an interruption we as well might make, from boardroom to showroom to emergency room or stage. “Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the LORD’s army.”  At this, Commander to commander, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?””
Father, what would You have us do? Interrupt us at Your leisure, will, and plan! Help us to recognize Your interruptions with welcoming arms.
