II Kings 8:5 Just as Gehazi was telling the king how
Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought
back to life came to appeal to the king for her house and land. Gehazi said,” This is the woman, my lord the
king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.”
This incident reminds me of the perfect timing of God in our
lives. So many times events seem to be
coincidences but God uses those “coincidences” as tools to enhance the impact
of the lesson He wants us to learn. This
women “just happened” to arrive at the palace to make her appeal to the king
just when the king needed to see the evidence of the truth of what Gahazi was
telling him. Her appearance was a way of
cementing the truth of the power of God to the king. Her timely arrival was also God’s way of
providing for her need, as seen in the next verse, when the king assigned an
official to take care of her need without much effort from her in making her
appeal. So they both benefited from the
timely interaction. If that is not proof
of how God’s timing is perfect, no other would be! God is working every event to do His will for
me, just as Romans 8:28 says!
