Life has a way of blindsiding us when we least expect it. One day everything feels stable, and the next, the rug is pulled out from under us. My client Doug experienced this firsthand when he suddenly lost his job. By all accounts, he could have been consumed by fear, uncertainty, and worry. But instead, he recognized something deeper at work—God was moving him into a new season.

Sometimes, what feels like loss is actually a divine redirection. We cling to what’s familiar, even when it no longer serves our growth, because change feels risky. But God sees the bigger picture. He knows when it’s time to close one chapter so we can step into the next.

In Doug’s case, losing his job opened the door to pursue dreams he’d kept on the shelf for years. The very disruption that could have broken him became the launching pad for a new purpose.

When life blindsides us, it’s easy to see only the pain in the moment. But if we trust that there’s a plan at work, we may discover the setback was really a setup—an unseen blessing leading us exactly where we were meant to go.
