A good friend offered for me to stop by his place and pick some okra. When I stopped by, I was surprised at the size of it. Most were almost a foot long. Some were fairly straight while many were curved. It did not take long to fill my bag with the large okra. I left the little okra on the plants. It was only when I had a couple of the ladies from our church kitchen crew help me longer the okra, the tougher and poor tasting the okra. We had to throw out the entire bag of okra that I picked. I learned that you should pick the okra before it reaches about 5 inches if you want tasty okra. Yes, I went back and harvested those shorter ones that I had left behind.
God’s timing is the best. We need to move and act on his timing for the betterment of our lives. What is God telling you it is time to do? Don’t delay, you might be in for tough times if you do.
Psalm 31:15 (ESV)
15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
At the right time, God will provide your need. At the right time, God will deliver you. At the right time, God will rescue you.
At God’s time!
P.S. the okra was great, just as God’s timing.
