Ironic ad

I was in the website for members of my old high school (Oliver Wendell Holmes-Class of '84-Go Huskies!) when I noticed that they had a ad from Google: "Signs of Appendicitis."

Now my question is....where was it 24 months ago when I really needed it?

Then again...had the ad been there...would there be these insights that I have received over that time? So maybe it was a good thing that it wasn't there.....

Reminds me of something that Dr. Luke wrote about in Acts 16:
"They (Paul and his companions) traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, because they had been prevented by the Ruach HaKodesh from speaking the message in the province of Asia. When they came to the frontier of Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Yeshua would not let them." (verses 6-7 Complete Jewish Bible).

Maybe Paul was prevented by the Spirit either because he was not ready for what would happen there, or perhaps the Spirit had a greater work for them in another region as we read a little later in the Chapter...

So maybe I didn't see that ad because the Spirit knew that God's greater work would be done through a "wounded bird". So maybe the Father knows best after all!
