Genesis 8:12
He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

Here I am in Shanghai on my first business trip. It's China, a country that I don't really want to ever visit because I'm not a fan of the people. But I do appreciate this trip because I need to accomplish some key work stuff and can't just do it via my desk and a phone call.
On a shallow note, I really needed this trip because my miles to maintain the frequent flyer status of, miserable, silver is due by the end of Feb. How dreadful to actually have it expire after flying to Europe thrice just to get it.

God's timing is always right and how He works to fulfil my petty requests is always amazing. I needed about 4750 miles, this trip to Shanghai gives me all but 21 miles. However, because of the hotel stay which is part of the airline partner, I will be able to add in the hotel stay and eventually clock the required miles to maintain the card! Everything I need and just a few more spare miles.
How often do we see God providing just enuff and a bit more in our life and situation. To add to that, He also replies at the very right time and not after the clock strikes 12. Noah's story is precisely representative of this fact. At the right time, the flood will strike, and also end. At God's time, not ours.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
