God's perfect timing.

Read by Jared stacker Roth.

We can make our plans, but
the Lord determines our steps.

Proverbs 16, verse nine.

Have you ever wondered why God's timing
doesn't seem to be in line with yours.

This story from Adam wheel in New
Zealand is a great reminder that

God's timing is always perfect.

Adam and his wife poor.

We're out canvassing in New Zealand.

They called on a particular
home and met Jules.

Who said that he would only be
there for around 15 minutes.

He was planning on picking up some things
before, heading back to his home about

an hour's drive away from Auckland.

Jules was interested in health.

And as Adam began steering the
conversation towards spiritual matters,

he became extremely enthusiastic.

I've been listening to a seventh
day Adventist preacher named

Doug bachelor on YouTube.

He said, I learned about the Sabbath and
I've been keeping it for five months now.

Adam excitedly told Jules that he
was also a seventh day Adventist.

The conversation could have continued
on, but as Jules needed to leave,

he quickly purchased a book and
gave Adam his contact details.

There was so much more that I
wanted to know about jewels.

So I called him on the phone later
and he shared more of his story, said,

Adam, I was amazed that he was only at
that house for 15 minutes and that God

brought us there at just the right time.

Only the night before Jules had
been watching a video on the

health message when Adam introduced
himself as interested in health.

Jules knew that God had sent him.

Although he had been keeping the
Sabbath for five months, Jules

longed to find fellow believers.

He didn't know of any
Adventist churches in his area.

So he prayed that God would
connect him with other Adventists.

Two days later.

God introduced him to Adam.

I connected Jules with the local seventh
day Adventist church in his area said,

Adam, He has accepted all of our beliefs.

Giving his heart to God
and wants to be baptized.

He even purchased a set of children's
Bible stories for his grandson.

What a blessing God had in
store for both of us that day.

His timing.

Is always perfect.
