The Holy Disruption: Week 2

What if the interruptions in our lives aren't obstacles but invitations? This powerful message challenges us to reimagine the disruptions we face—whether illness, financial strain, or unexpected chaos—as divine appointments where God is actively drawing us closer to Jesus. Through the beautiful encounter between Mary and Elizabeth in Luke 1:39-45, we discover that God's holy disruptions have always been His chosen method of breaking into human history. When Mary's greeting caused baby John to leap in Elizabeth's womb and the Holy Spirit to fill her, we witness a profound truth: God's presence doesn't wait for perfect circumstances. The Spirit bypasses our logic and limitations to point us directly to Christ. We're invited to shift our perspective from seeing Christmas as a season of flawless perfection to recognizing it as the ultimate holy disruption—God entering our messy world to offer genuine peace. Not the world's peace of absent conflict, but the deep, unshakeable peace of reconciliation with our Creator. The woman who suffered for twelve years teaches us that faith doesn't require mountain-moving certainty, just enough trust to reach out. Her miracle wasn't only her healing—it was that God sustained her through every difficult day leading up to that moment. When we feel life falling apart, the fact that God is holding us together is itself the miracle we often overlook.
