Perfect Timing

God's timing is always right on point. Have you ever wondered, "what if?" Like what if I didn't listen to what I knew God was leading me to do, or what if I never said the words I knew I was to say to someone. Im sure we have all experienced some form of the "what ifs's" throughout our lives, some of us more than others I'm sure.

Today I experienced one of those perfect moments. I knew all day today that God was leading me to something that I really wasn't wanting to do, but knew that I needed to do it (you know what I mean?), and so I must confess, I pulled a Gideon on God and through out the fleece today and sure enough, confimation again. Now, I know that and beleive that the "fleece" story is not one to take on all the time, but sometimes my mind just works that way, not sure how theologically correct that is, but I do know that God speaks to me in those ways from time to time.

So as I walked in obeidence today and with God's help was very thankful and happy to do it, God showed up in ways that I'm not sure would have happened otherwise and so it makes me ask myself the question, "what if?" What if I would have chosen not to listen and obey my heavenly father as he was leading me, then what? Would the blessing still have come? Would another have been ministered to in ways only God can do? I would have to logically conclude that things would have turned out another way, better or worse? I'm not sure.

I believe with all my heart in the soveriegnty of God and that all things that He wills to happen, will happen, one way or another, but the question is are we going to be part of it. God is at work all around us and as he leads us and asks us and requires of us things for his goodness and purpose, his kingdom here on earth, are we going to be obedient to him? Or are we going to miss the blessings he has for us and for those around us who are in need of him.
