IT'S ALL IN THE TIMING

(These One A Days are added to each day)

During the Korean War there was a terrible battle that happened at a place that came to be known as Heartbreak Hill. Men were dying and being wounded at a terrible rate. Not far from where a dozen men huddled in a foxhole a wounded marine cried out for help.

As bullet after bullet thudded into the ground around them, eleven of the men discussed whether it made sense to risk their lives to try and save him. The twelfth young man, rather than join in the discussion, began to stare intently at his watch. Even when the others asked him what he was doing, he remained silent. Then, all of a sudden he leapt from the foxhole and ran toward the wounded man. Miraculously he remained unscathed. Then lifting him up he retraced his steps back to the foxhole.

Later, as the wounded soldier lay recovering in a hospital room, he was visited by his hero. It was then the young soldier explained that what had seemed a foolish lack of common sense, or a tremendous amount of courage, was actually neither. “My mother told me that every day, at the exact time I ran to rescue you, she would be praying for me. I simply waited until my watch read that time and ran without any fear or concern.”

Some would not have run from the safety of the foxhole. They would have cried out, “God’s protection at such a moment is impossible.”

But read Luke 18:27 and Christ promises –Things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Or read in Proverbs (3:5-6) – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

And in Philippians (4:19) Paul writes – My God will supply all your needs.

II Timothy 1:7 tells us – For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
