The right place

God is the master at perfect timing. Going back to my piece on silent comedy one of the great gifts of really quality comedy is the timing,particularly the timing between characters. Old classic series like MASH or Cheers rely upon the quality of the interaction and getting the killer line at just the right point for maximum impact. Some stand-up is exactly the same, it is not the line that is funny it is the way it is delivered.

I often find the same is true of God. Not often in a comedic sense but in a perfect timing sense. Just when We need to hear something the master timer just gets it right and when He does, the apparently mundane or insignificant takes on a completely new sense of importance. I have found this to be true on many occasions in my walk with god and this happened again this morning. Over the last few days I have been questioning a couple of things to do with my calling and the future. Partly, this has been to do with the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and also my passion for mission. However, as I was leading a prayer meeting this morning te Lord reminded me that I was where he wanted me to be and that should be enough. that I should just enjoy Jesus and trust Him for the future. Why do I sometimes need reassurance? How easily I can be robbed of the joy of my journey with Jesus? These are things I need to reflect more upon.
