Now I Understand

JUNE 10, 2020

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes.
Psalm 119:71

 Recommended Reading: Job 42:1-6

Clayton Christensen (d. 2020) was known for articulating his theory of disruptive technology—an unexpected product or service that disrupts an existing market and helps create a new category of customers. Examples of disruptive technologies include the Internet, desktop publishing, CDs, DVDs, personal computers, steamships, telephones, and automobiles. Disruptive technologies are usually resisted at first and then accepted because of their benefits and efficiencies. 

God allows disruptive moments in our life that we almost always question or resist because they are painful, unanticipated, misunderstood, and often not optional. Yet in hindsight, they are always embraced for the good or blessing which results. In the Old Testament, Job is the classic example of a life being disrupted, while Paul’s thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) is an obvious New Testament example.

If God has allowed a disruptive moment in your life, walk through it by faith rather than by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)—and be prepared to say, “Now I understand.” 

The circumstances we ask God to change are often the circumstances God is using to change us.
