More than serendipity

One of my favorite Bible verses is:

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24

Isaiah 65:24 is sometimes called God's phone number.

I've had a number (no pun) of occasions when what I needed arrived at the exact moment I needed it, sometimes even before I knew I even had a need. I always think of this verse during those times.

I've received phone calls just as I was needing support. I had a house guest who is a RN visit during a time in which a family member needed his services. Once we ran out of gas, in a new car in which the gas gage was not working properly, but someone stopped to help us quickly. They only asked that we pass it along. This was long before the concept of Pay it Forward.

How about you? Have you had occasions like this?
