TD Jakes Daily Devotional (December-15-2023) God's Transformative Power.
Bible Quote:
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:19
The concept of disruptive innovation in the business world offers a compelling parallel to the ways God works in our lives.
Just as disruptive innovation radically alters industries, God's interventions can disrupt our 'normal' to lead us towards a transformative spiritual experience.
The story of Bartimaeus illustrates this beautifully - his encounter with Jesus was a disruption of his everyday reality, prompting him to seek and call out to Jesus in a way he might never have done otherwise.
God often uses disruptions – those out-of-the-ordinary moments or challenges – to awaken us, to make us seek Him with a new intensity.
These disruptions are not mere disturbances; they are divine appointments, opportunities to encounter God in a profound and life-changing way.
It's in these moments that our routine calls of faith can turn into desperate, genuine cries for His intervention.
Disruptive innovation in our spiritual journey can mean breaking free from the confines of routine and familiarity.
It's about seeking God with a newfound urgency and sincerity. When our normal is shaken, our true hunger for God is revealed – we move beyond passive worship to active, fervent seeking.
This message also encourages us to be agents of spiritual disruption. Just as innovations like the automobile revolutionized transportation, we are called to bring transformative change to our spiritual environments.
It's about being bold in our faith, creating waves that alter the spiritual landscape around us, leading others to encounter God in new and powerful ways.
Final Prayer: Lord, use the disruptions in our lives as opportunities for us to seek You more earnestly.
Help us to embrace the transformative power of disruptive innovation in our spiritual journeys.
May we be bold in our faith, bringing about changes that lead ourselves and others closer to You.
In moments of disruption, let us find our true calling and purpose in You. Amen.
