“And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.” 2 Chronicles 29:36

Early this morning I was thinking about Samuel and how the Lord gave him a suddenly”.
Samuel was asleep after a day of doing his usual religious duties, then suddenly without warning the Lord spoke to him. This happened to Isaiah also. He was in the temple then suddenly he saw the Lord high and lifted up. And Joseph; he was in the prison doing his daily routine then suddenly he was promoted to the second highest in command in Egypt. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is another one. Suddenly an angel appeared and gave her the word from the Lord that she would bear the Messiah. The Lord appeared to Moses, suddenly, out of a burning bush. It happened to Noah, to Abraham, to Gideon, to the shepherds, Saul on the road to Damascus, and a host of others in the Bible.
The Bible is full of people who have this same testimony. They were going about their day, their regular routine, their jobs, their duties, tending to their responsibilities, then “suddenly” without prior warning, without any notice, without even a hint that something was up… the Lord appeared to them, gave them their answer, called them to do something for His Kingdom, gave them an assignment, sent an answer, pronounced a blessing, made a promise, or gave them a promotion.

God works in the “suddenly”. We may not see the answer to our prayer then all of a sudden it comes– as if from no where. We may not see anything happening in our lives to give us any indication that God is aware of what we are going through and then suddenly He lets us know that He is. Whatever you are going through, wherever you are, whatever the situation, whatever you need, whatever you are praying about…the answer will come, and it will come suddenly… and in the least expected way.

Have a great day. God does things suddenly– without warning, when you least expect it.
