The Lords Timing

It never ceases to amaze me the timing of the Lord and how He will always provide our needs for us. Sometimes our needs are our wants and it seems like He isn't answering our prayers, but He always hears us and I am finding that He does provide for us as we wait on Him and trust in Him to provide our needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus and in His time.

I would just like to share another blessing, one of the many, the Lord provided for me this past week. I had mentioned before in one of my writings how my sister-in-law had sent me material forour curtains for the guest roomthat was the exact print that I had been wanting for a year. She being in Kentucky knew nothing about my desire for that material and by chance sent it to me from curtains she had up in her home with extra material.

Well, we have been needing a dresser for our bedroom guestroom that our 27 year old daughter has been staying in. She was here last year and her stuff has been in bins and when we have guests we would like to have a dresser to accommodate them.

Our daughter was away for a couple of months and coming back this past week.We had been looking around and on Craigs list as well, but couldn't seem to find the right price or size. My husband and I were at Ikea's a few weeks ago and found one but it was more than we wanted to spend at the time.

Last Saturday I quickly looked on Craig's list it was about 10:00 in the morning. I was running late and just browsed and said, "I don't want to spend more than $100 on the dresser and want it to be in good condition". I scanned the dresser list and sawone for $100 from Ikea's. The listing stated that it was brand new and $299 normally. I called and left a message and dashed out the door.

As soon as I arrived to my destination, on my motor scooter, which I could not hear the phone if it rang, as soon as I got off my scooter, the phone rang. I answered it. The lady said that she had 3 other people that called, but I was the first one so she was going to call me first.

Needless to say, we went and picked it up and it is the exact dresser we were looking at but a bit bigger which was even better. The timing of this was priceless to me. Wanting to get the dresser before my daughter came home, calling just at that moment,I was the first caller, I called her practically running out the door, her calling me right when I got off my scooter, the price.....coincidence. I don't choose to think so. It was too hand picked, right on time and absolutely another perfect gift from the Lord.

When we run out and get what we want when we want and do not wait for him, sometimes we lose out on the blessing He may have for us or waiting for Him to show His love for us in providing for us miraculously so that we know that we know that we know that it is directly from Him.

Thankfully His,
