God’s timing always amazes me, and I experienced that first hand.
My wife and I decided to go out for dinner, just the two of us, which is rare. They told us that it would be a 15-20 minute wait. No problem.
As we’re standing there, several people came in and put their their name on the wait list.
We kept chatting. We were on a date. We were in NO hurry!
Suddenly, a woman stands up, and walks over to us. “Tommy? You’re Tommy right?” “Yes I am.” “I’m Kim, I’m here with my dad. I lost my mom a few months ago, and you have been a huge help to me in the grieving process. I listen to you everyday, and, I’d like to pay for your dinner.” I’m like, “Kim that’s not necessary.” She said, “No. I insist. I’d like to bless you.”
I humbly said, “Well that’s so very kind of you…thank you.”
It was then that I began to think of the amazing timing God had to put into motion to make that happen. We “suddenly” had the idea to go out to eat. Kim “suddenly” chose the same restaurant, at the exact same time as we did. Coincidence? Nope!
It is because of God’s timing, and Kim’s generosity, that I am able to share this story with you, at this exact time.
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
Proverbs 16:9
When have you had your own, “That had to be God’s timing” moment? I’d love to hear your story.
God’s timing is perfect. Go make a difference. Always run by faith.
hello Tommy,
yesterday on our trip up to Holland for Tracy’s work, we made a side jog to a little town in Illinois to see a veteran memorial, or so we thought. When we pulled up to the spot I heard what sounded like a woman screaming, we looked and there was a man beating up what we thought was a woman, it was horrible, Tracy got out of our vehicle and I started honking the horn to get there attention, I called 911, totally Gods plan for us to be there when we were. Come to find out it was two brothers fighting, the one brother was going to hurt if not kill the other brother, the cops have been in touch with me and the one doing the hitting is going to go to jail. It was a scary moment, but at the same time we both knew we were there for a reason. God loves His children, each and everyone of us, whether we acknowledge Him or not. Your friend, Jen N
WOW! This really IS amazing timing. Whoa. What if you weren’t there? Oh man.
Are you ok if I share this story?
Tracy and I both feel that if we wouldn’t have been there the guy would have been beat to death, we are so glad that we didn’t hesitate in the “call” at all. The time that this took place was 1:23p the address was also 1:23, so I have looked in the Bible at these numbers and Matthew 1:23, James 1:23 and Jude vs 23 are all on it!!
Please feel free to share!!
