RIGHT PLACE-PROVERBS 16:1-9**************

THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT PLACE, ON THE WRONG DAY. OR SO IT WOULD SEEM. THE DAYSPRING CHORALE, A TRAVELING HIGH SCHOOL SINGING GROUP, ARRIVED AT A NURSING HOME FOR A THURSDAY CONCERT.

HOWERVER, THE FOLKS AT THE HOME WERE EXPECTING THEM ON FRIDAY. BUT THEY SAID IF THE GROUP COULD GET SET UP FAST, THEY COULD SING FOR 20 MINUTES. THEN THEY'D HAVE TO STOP FOR A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR ONE OF THE RESIDENTS.

THE CHORALE HURRIEDLY GOT READY AND SANG, AND AS THEY DID, THE SON OF THE MAN WHO HAD DIED HEARD THEM. WHEN THEY WERE DONE HE ASKED IF THEY COULD SING AT HIS DAD'S SERVICE.

THEY GLADLY AGREED AND MINISTERED HOPE AND TRUTH TO ALL WHO ATTENDED. GOD USED THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN A SPECIAL WAY-ALL BECAUSE OF A SECRETARIAL ERROR. BUT WAS IT A MISTAKE?

WE CAREFULLY MAKE SCHEDULES SO WE CAN BE WHERE WE THINK WE SHOULD BE. BUT WE ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THE WORDS OF SOLOMON, "A MAN'S HEART PLANS HIS WAY, BUT THE LORD DIRECTS HIS STEPS" (PROV. 16:9). THE BOOK OF PROVERBS TEACHES US HOW TO LIVE IN THE WORLD BY WISDOM OF THE WORD.

SOMETIMES OUR PLAN DOES NOT UNFOLD
THE WAY WE THOUGHT IT WOULD;
BUT GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL
TO USE IT FOR OUR GOOD.

UNEXPECTED CHANGES ARE OPPORTUNITIES IN DISGUISE. I HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

HAVE A HAPPY, BLESSED DAY************
