Right Time, Right Place

I am sure that many of us have found ourselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. Something went down or something happened and you just happened to be there and it was neither good nor pleasant. Well, on the other side of things have you ever felt like you were at just the right place at just the right time?

I feel like all of us, all of us that call Venice home, are in just the right place at just the right time. As Amy and I were reading the Bible together this week we ran across this passage in one of our devotional books.

Esther 4:14 (NLT)
If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. What's more, who can say but that you have been elevated to the palace for just such a time as this?

The story of Esther is an amazing story and one that you might want to read this week. You will see that Esther was in just the right place at just the right time.

The right place and the right time are God’s place and God’s time. I believe that each one of us is at Venice Church at just the right time. I believe that this is God’s time and this is God’s place and He wants to do something wonderful in our neighborhood. I believe that He wants to bring more people into His family through a personal relationship with Christ. I believe that He wants them to learn to live like Christ. Here is where we come in. God has put us here to be along for the ride and to partner with Him in the work that He is doing. Right place. Right time. Let’s enjoy the ride and give God the glory as we go.
