I asked for mercy, yesterday, only to have it blow up in my face today ... figuratively, and literally.
But I am not sad ... the tears from yesterday are smiles today.

Seriously, not only did He make a bold proclamation Himself, loud and clear, at the best most Perfect Time for a proclamation to be made ... He helped me make a bold proclamation as well:
I knew it was going to blow. At any moment. And I warned. And, guess what, it blew.
I knew it was dangerous. At every moment. And I warned. And, guess what, it was dangerous.
I asked for mercy, yesterday, asked for just a little bit of time ... please let me fix this tire ... and I didn't get it.
Come to find out .... had I gotten it, it would NOT have been in my best interest at all.
Instead, I got a way better "mercy" today ... a mercy that I can, and will, take to the bank.
And, oddly enough, the danger of a blown tire protected me from a far more dangerous danger ... a dangerous "danger" that I can, and will, also, take to the bank.
God's Timing really IS perfect ... He knows what He is doing ... All things Work for the Good, and I do mean ALL THINGS ... all things.
Amen.
