Is this a good time for you?
"Is it a good time for you?" I heard a joyful voice at the other end of the line, putting even more pressure on me. Because no, it was not a good time at all, not at all, but I didn't want to disappoint this expectant lady.
friend, let's be honest, a lot has to align for us to say, "Yes, it’s a good day!"
Or could you honestly answer God right now, "Sure, I'm ready right away; use me today"?
Somehow we always come up with something that doesn't fit. It's not the right time, we don't have the right help, the right amount of money for this task is missing from the account, the right opportunity has not presented itself, the right spouse is missing, or health problems don't quite fit with what God actually has in mind...
Funny, isn't it? We read so many stories in the Bible where God made completely inappropriate situations fit!
Because God can make everything come together in a perfect fit.
For example, within the same chapter, you read about the same man: “Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.” (Acts 9:1-2 NIV) and shortly after: "At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God." (Acts 9:20 NIV)
What a transformation within a chapter! So, if you're currently thinking that things aren’t working out right for you, it might be because you haven't entrusted this chapter of your life to God yet!
friend, no matter what's going on right now, your God is a God who can easily make all things fit together in your life, for His purpose, even if they aren’t right now.
It wouldn't be the first time He does that! Do you trust Him to do so? Do you want to ask Him for that in your words right now?
You are a miracle!
