Perfect Timing

Yesterday I heard an amazing story on the news. I can't remember where this took place, but I won't forget the lesson I learned.

One family ordered a pizza. It was late in being delivered. As the family waits for their pizza, the husband grabs his chest and violently collapses on the floor. The wife is dialing 911 when she hears a knock on her door. The emergency dispatcher says an ambulance is on its way. There is another knock on the door and in a panic she opens the door to see the pizza delivery man standing before her. He is holding their pizza.

She blurts out that her husband must be having a heart attack. The pizza man throws the pizza on the ground and says the most amazing phrase "WHERE IS HE? I'M A PARAMEDIC WITH THE ARMY!" And within moments her husband has been revived by the paramedic who had a temporary job as a pizza delivery man.

WOW! Timing is everything.

I am sure they are happy the pizza was late. Any earlier and it would have been too late for her husband who had stopped breathing.

IS it ANY different with our lives and waiting on God to deliver?

He may seem like He is delaying. It may appear that He got lost on the way to your house. BUT what if God's perceived delay is really His beautifully organized plan being carried out in your life? In my life. What if each day or moment of waiting leads to a rescue that is perfectly timed? Would it be worth the wait if we could see the weight of the result?

I think so. And so I choose to wait well. With trust and faith in GOD's good plan. HIS attention to detail in the delivery.

Wait a minute. And watch what GOD can do!
