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.
