Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He has made everything suitable for its time
Nothing happens to you by accident when you seek God in your life. Even a “chance” meeting with someone is part of His plan to set in motion His blessings in your life.
Such was the divinely arranged meeting of the Shunammite woman and Prophet Elisha. She had a “miracle child” even though she was barren and her husband was old. (2 Kings 4:8–17) A few years later, her son fell seriously ill and died — Elisha raised her son back to life. (2 Kings 4:18–37)
When God is the one orchestrating the events in your life, neither lack nor danger nor destruction can affect you. When famine hit the land, the Shunammite woman’s family did not suffer because through Elisha, God had told them to leave the land. (2 Kings 8:1–2)
God can place you at the right place at the right time. The Shunammite woman returned to Shunem after the famine had ended. She then decided to appeal to the king of Israel for help to regain her house and land, which had been illegally acquired by others during her absence.
The king wanted to hear all about the miracles performed by Elisha. This gave the Shunammite woman the opportunity to share first-hand with the king how Elisha had raised her son from the dead. The thrilled king then ordered the restoration of her house and land, including all the proceeds of the field from the day that she had left until then. (2 Kings 8:3–6) The Lord had timed and set up everything beautifully for her!
Thought for the day!
God can also make all things beautiful in its time for you. As you involve Him in your daily life and trust His love for you, you too will see Him lead and place you at the right place at the right time to enjoy His blessings.
