"Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over how God had prepared the people, for it had come about suddenly." 2 Chronicles 29:36 CSB
In preparation for the Passover, King Hezekiah ordered seven bulls, seven rams and seven male goats to be slaughtered and their blood sprinkled all over the Temple altar. The carcasses were then prepared to be burnt on the altar as an offering to the Lord. Can you imagine the scene and the mess this would have made? There would have been a lot to clear up in preparation for the Passover. not forgetting the re-consecration of the priests and Levites. Amazingly, it was done in no time at all - suddenly, they were ready.
The word, 'Suddenly', has an exciting feel to it. You may have been struggling with something and getting nowhere, when, 'Suddenly' God turns up and the situation is changed. Remember Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.' Jesus had commanded the disciples not to leave Jerusalem but, to wait for the Father's promise - the Holy Spirit. So they were together waiting in the upper room wondering what it was all about. Then, 'Suddenly' - POW! The Holy Spirit turned up and changed their lives forever.
This is what He does. Have you ever been waiting for God to do something, wondering if it will ever happen? Of course you have; then without warning, power enters the situation and you are blessed beyond words could ever describe. In fact, some of you are waiting for God to do something for you at this time. Humanly, the situation is impossible, there is no chance of change taking place. This is thinking out of the box but, Jesus is in the box and when the time is perfect, He will do something amazing and you will be left God-smacked. Words will not be able to express how you feel; you will just be blessed!
The 'Suddenlies', usually come when you are least expecting them so, until they arrive be like the disciples and wait, pray and read your bible.
