Perfect Timing

Yesterday was an unusual morning. I left for work earlier than usual. It was only about 8.05am when I left my house to drop off some "No Bribes" stickers at my former head office. I was done in less than 5 minutes.

Then as I drove to work, I realised why it was not usual: I would usually arrive at my office within fourty minutes of departure. But the traffic at Puchong was unusually bad yesterday. It was also unusually smooth the two days before. If I had decided to leave the usual time of 8.20am, or based on those past two smooth traffic days' experience, I would have been late for work. But thankfully, I arrived just in time about 9.00am.

Today, however, I left for work the latest since I started work the first work day of the year. I left at 8.30am but still arrived at work on time!

These are one good example of God's timing. He's just perfect. I couldn't have known of the situation ahead of time. And it couldn't have been a mere coincidence because I had an unusual feeling. Furthermore, I felt that eating just oats was sufficient yesterday morning (I usually have heavy breakfast, of which oats is about halfthe total volume.)

To me, God works in small and everyday moments. He also works big and special ways. If I failed to recognise His handiwork in the minute detail, then how am I to recognise his works in the bigger picture? It is the small individual pieces that make up a larger jigsaw puzzle. And I wouldn't trade this wonderful personal experience for anything else in God's wonderful Kingdom.
