Right on Time

I am amazed at the punctuality of God.  His presence is always at the right place and the right time.  God's timing is perfect and He lovingly and willingly provides for the needs that we face.  We can offer our sincere praise and adoration to God as we reflect on the times that we have sensed the Spirit ministering to us during specific times of need.  I read some interesting words from Chuck Swindoll this morning and I wanted to share them with you.

 

Wisdom Just in Time by Charles R. Swindoll

Do not worry about how or what
you are to say; for it will be given you
in that hour what you are to say.
Matthew 10:19

Do you know what I've discovered about the Lord? He doesn't give wisdom on credit. He doesn't advance you a bundle of insight. . . . Do you know when He gives us words and wisdom and insight?

Right when we need them. At the very instant they are required.

If you're a parent, you may have experienced this phenomenon. You find yourself in a situation you never anticipated, and couldn't prepare for. Suddenly, you're at one of the critical junctures of life where you're the mom or dad, and your child is looking into your eyes, depending on you for a right answer. Not always, but often, you are given the words you need. Later you realize that they were words beyond your own wisdom.

At that quiet moment, you breathe a little prayer of thanks. "Praise You, Lord. That's exactly what needed to be said."
