Whether through uncontrollable circumstances or the pain of personal relationships, everyone has experienced unforeseen changes in life. Even today, it’s easy to wonder why God would allow calamity to happen or if He’s in control at all. It depicts a young man who endured betrayal, abandonment, injustice, and confusion before understanding God’s sovereign plan to redirect him from the pit to the palace. The biblical account of Joseph clearly demonstrates that God is at work even when life seems to be going wrong.

What’s more, they often provide the development we need in order to reach our destiny. They are a good thing that often feels bad.ĭivinely designed detours in our lives are also positive interruptions designed to divert us to a better path so that we might have the opportunity to reach our destination well. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. But detours are necessary if any improvement is going to be made on the paths we travel or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or hazard avoided. Have you ever done something similar? You can admit it, too.įew of us like to be stalled for any reason, even if it’s just someone cutting us off in traffic and forcing us to slow down. I wonder why on earth did this have to happen to me right now. When I take a long road trip with the family, I won’t even stop for normal things like food and bathroom breaks, unless my family insists, so you can imagine how I feel about a detour. I don’t know about you, but I like to get to where I am going without any detours. Whether we are following our own mental map or the one in our phone, sometimes we run into a detour-some closed end that requires us to make a U-turn or go down a path we had not previously expected. We typically know how we plan to get there, which highway we are going to take-even which streets we are going to turn onto in order to arrive at our destination.Īnd if we don’t, we at least type in the destination address into our smartphone app and rely on an automated voice to guide us every step of the way. When we get in our cars, we do so with a destination in mind. A detour is an unplanned, often unexpected, shift in the route we were taking to get where we were trying to go.
