God does nothing by accident in your life. And, there is nowhere you can go that God is not already actively at work.
The Jewish and Samaritan people generally hated each other. Both saw the other as heretics. Racial prejudice was prevalent. Samaria simply wasn’t a place a self-respecting Jew wanted to find himself.
Yet for Jesus to get to Galilee, Samaria was the shortest route. Jesus and His disciples could have taken the circuitous path across the eastern slopes of the Jordan River, but Jesus chose not to. It was common practice in His day to avoid Samaria, but Jesus routinely rejected common practices.
So Jesus made His way directly into Samaria. Knowing that God does nothing by accident. Jesus would not have been surprised when He experienced a divine appointment at a well.
At times God grants us divine appointments. What might appear to us to be a mundane trip or meeting can actually be a part of God’s plan. We don’t always recognize that at the time, but we can often see it in hindsight.
What appointments, trips, and meetings do you have this week that God might be intending to use for His own purposes?
