Being in the Right Place for the Appointed Time

And when God does pour out His Spirit, people who normally wouldn’t give you the time of the day, will suddenly begin to listen because you are in the right place, with the right answer.

“Thus and thus said the maid that is of the Lord of Israel.”

God used a cleaning maid to reach a 5 star general, and introduced him to a God who could heal him of his leprosy.  Her story is recorded in 2 kings, chapter 5.  take a moment and read it.  

There are two lessons in it for us.

1. There’s a purpose in we being where we are.  Instead of complaining, start looking for somebody who needs what God’s given you.  This girl wasn’t there just to make beds and clean the house, she was there by divine appointment.  Think if all of our life can be in training for one moment, one crisis, one opportunity. 1 Peter 3:13 says “But sanctify the Lord in your hearts, always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you, a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear”.  She was ready, are you?

2. What a difference a day makes, the day before she was just a cleaner/servant.  The next day she is a gift from God and the most popular respected person in the household.  The world focuses on our names/status, but when they run out of answers and run out of hope, God says in Joel 2:28-29 “And it shall come to pass afterwards that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. 29 and also on my menservants, and on my maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days”.

And when God does pour out His Spirit, people who normally wouldn’t give you the time of the day, will suddenly begin to listen because you are in the right place, with the right answer.  Don’t allow your lack of education, your ethnic background, your sub-servant position or your poor wages silence you. Keep renewing your mind and strengthening your faith, by allowing God to use you as only He can and keep listening as the Master Conductor may just be about to give you a cue.

May the Lord bless you as you seek His wisdom and direction in your life each day, in Jesus Name.
