Question to be Answered Part 2

I have not received any comments for my last blog and I got impatient at waiting to share some thoughts, so I figured I would just share some thoughts. Check out some more of that chapter.

Acts 16:25-34
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. 27The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!" 29The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole family.

It's all about God's timing! Amen. Paul could have driven out the demon any time and yet he waited many days. Sometimes what we think needs done right away may need done over time. God leads and directs every thing. In this instance, let's say Paul prays for the girl the first day and the demon is driven out, then what happens? Who knows? But think of this, when they were put in jail, the jailer gets saved. I think God was working on the jailer. Any other day might not have led to the response that the jailer had. Maybe the jailer would have had a day off. There was most likely other circumstances that led to that divine moment in the jailers life that might not have happened if Paul would have driven the demon out any other day.

So there are two miracles here. The girl being delivered and the jailer and his family being saved. God is sovereign. Amen. And the lesson for us to learn is... be led by the Holy Spirit. Keep your ears and eyes tuned into God and what He is doing. You don't want to miss out on the greater things that God has for each of us because of doing things in your own timing.
