Right
Place at the Right Time
For he says,
“In the time
of my favor I heard you,
and
in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now
is the day of salvation. – 2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV.
Citrus
County, Florida Sheriff’s Office and marine units were in the right place at
the right time for a pilot whose plane was sinking. The pilot had landed in the
water and was seen crawling out of the plane and then standing on top of the
sinking plane. Deputies were able to rescue the pilot. Thankfully, they were
all in the right place at the right time. (ABC News 11.12.21; Florida News
Times 11.12.21; and various other news venues.)
For that pilot in Florida, it was a time of “God’s favor” with his surviving a forced landing in
the ocean and with rescuers there in the right place ready to assist. Things
like this simply do not “happen.” If the pilot had not already been a
believer, this event should have at least made him think about God.
I messaged back and forth last night with a
person who lives in San Francisco. He had just followed me, and I had just
followed back on one of the social media platforms. I rarely engage in messaging
like that, but believed it was important last night. I was eventually able to
turn the conversation to spiritual things and found that this person is from
Macao, China and that his parents are Buddhists and that he is an atheist. He
eventually said that we should take a little of the best of all religions and
make one. I then shared with him that there is only one religion, Christianity,
through which a person can have eternal life. As Jesus says in John 14:6, “I
am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” I gave him a link to
my website and to my testimony.
Last night was a time of “God’s favor” for that man. It was no accident that I
was able to share with Him about Jesus and the way of salvation. That could
have been “the day of salvation” for him. I may
never hear from him again, but at least He was able to receive a message of
truth about God that I don’t believe he had ever heard before.
Years ago, when I was working in the oilfield,
I was called out at night to go to a drilling rig location where one of our
inspection units was located. When I arrived there, I was told that it was at
another location where I was needed and was given complicated instructions as
to how to find it. It was still in the night when I finally found it out in the
middle of nowhere. But it was at the right place and the right time for one man
that I was able to share Jesus with that night.
If you are ever in the right place at the right
time - it is likely a divine appointment. Don’t miss it!
