Today I want to share THIS from Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations".
DIVINELY ARRANGED, BEAUTIFULLY TIMED
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its
time…
Nothing happens to you by accident when you have God in your
life. Even a “chance” meeting with someone is part of His plan to set in motion
His blessings in your life.
Such was the divinely arranged meeting of the Shunammite
woman and Prophet Elisha. It led to the prophet pronouncing over her the
blessing of a miracle child even though she was barren and her husband was old
(see 2 Kings 4:8–17). A few years later, it was this friendship with the man of
God, which saw her through a crisis when her son fell seriously ill and
died—Elisha raised her son back to life (see 2 Kings 4:18–37).
When God is the one orchestrating the events in your life,
neither lack nor danger nor destruction can affect you. When famine hit the
land, the Shunammite woman’s family did not suffer because through Elisha, God
had told them to leave the land. They went to the land of the Philistines and
dwelt there throughout the seven years of famine (see 2 Kings 8:1–2).
God can place you at the right place at the right time, even
through your daily decision-making. The Shunammite woman returned to Shunem
after the famine had ended. She then decided to appeal to the king of Israel
for help to regain her house and land, which had been illegally acquired by
others during her absence. This decision brought her before the king on the
same day that Elisha’s servant Gehazi was in audience with the king.
The king wanted to hear all about the miracles performed by
Elisha. This gave the Shunammite woman the opportunity to share firsthand with
the king how Elisha had raised her son from the dead. The thrilled king then
ordered the restoration of her house and land, including all the proceeds of
the field from the day that she had left until then (see 2 Kings 8:3–6). The
Lord had timed and set up everything beautifully for her!
Beloved, God can also make all things beautiful in its time
for you. As you involve Him in your daily life and trust His love for you, you
too will see Him lead and place you at the right place at the right time to
enjoy His blessings.
AMEN! Such a great encouragement for us to NEVER quit! Remember that GOD is ALWAYS watching and at work on our behalf! 2 Chronicles 16:9:For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him.
"Blameless" here can better be tranlsated "wholehearted" as in the Complete Jewish Bible! Keep your heart always trusting in the ONE Who love you MOST and BEST! He will NEVER let you down! Here is Hillsong with "We Have A Saviour":
Shalom in Him!
