IN THE RIGHT PLACE=AT THE RIGHT TIME

 







IN THE RIGHT PLACE=AT THE RIGHT TIME


The AMERICAN SPIRIT suggests that

The HARDER we work=

The more

We can ACHIEVE


But this is NOT

Always true


Sometimes it comes down

To who we know=

Or quite possibly=

BEING AT the right PACE=

At the RIGHT TIME


“Lord if you wish=

You can make me CLEAN'=


Then Jesus-

Stretched out his hand-

Touched him=and said=


'I DO will it=

Be made clean'” Luke 5:12-13


Today the LEPER=is

AT the right place

At the right time


Though the diagnosis of leprosy

Is terminal=BY CHANCE

He encounters Jesus


And RECOGNIZES HIM

To be the right person=

THE CHRIST


The person of Jesus

Wants GOOD HEALTH

For the leper


We may be TEMPTED

To attribute this healing=

To the leper's audacity=in ASKING


But the EXCHANGE

Between the leper=and Jesus

Makes it clear

It is CHRIST'S CHOICE

And his desire=to make him clean


This leper was

AT THE RIGHT PLACE=

At the RIGHT TIME


How many times has

GOOD FORTUNE fallen down

Upon us=for this same reason


Juts being at the RIGHT PLACE

AT THE RIGHT TIME?


It has happened to me=

Has it happened to you?


“For if you remain silent

AT THIS TIME


Relief and deliverance

For the Jews

Will arise from another place


But you and

Your father's family=will perish” Esther 4:14


“For it is TIME

To seek the Lord

Until he comes


And showers his righteousness

On you” Hosea 10:12


“For this was how

The promise was stated


'At the appointed TIME

I will return=and Sarah

Will have a son'” Romans 9:9


So much in life

Is being at

IN THE RIGHT PLACE

AT THE RIGHT TIME


But=for all intents and purposes=

Our HEALINGS in our life

DEPENDS on the will of God=

And the will OF CHRIST


The right place to BE is at

IN GOD and CHRIST'S HEART

All the days of our lives


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FOREVER LIVING LOVING FATHER
