Right Happenings Come From Jesus | |
Never forget that “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong…but time and chance happen to them all.”
God wants you to have the right timing—His timing, and He wants to lead
you to the right places. Psalm 37:23 says, “The steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord…” You are that “good man” because you are the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Now, look at the word “happen” in Ecclesiastes 9:11. In the original Hebrew text, it is the word qarah,
which means “to encounter, to meet (without pre-arrangement), to chance
to be present.” In a nutshell, it means “right happening.” So you can
depend on the Lord to cause you to be at the right place at the right
time, to have right happenings
happen in your life! I’m sure that you would agree that being at the
right place at the right time is a tremendous blessing. You certainly
don’t want to be at the wrong place at the wrong time!
Beloved, don’t depend on how
smart you are and how well you plan your day. Only Jesus knows how to
place you at the right place at the right time. So depend on Him for
right happenings. Commit your plans to Him and let Him lead you
supernaturally into good success in all that you do!
