"How often, in the choice of a text, or in the course of a sermon or in a letter to a friend, have I been led to speak a word in season!

And what I have expressed at large and in general has been so exactly suited to some case which I was utterly unacquainted with that I could hardly have hit it so well had I been previously informed of it. Some instances of this kind have been so striking as hardly to admit a doubt of Superior agency. And, indeed, if believers in Jesus, however unworthy in themselves, are the temples of the Holy Ghost; if the Lord lives, dwells, and walks in them; if He is their life and their light; if He has promised to guide them with His eye; and to work in them to will and to do of His own good pleasure - methinks what I have mentioned, and more, may be reasonably expected." John Newton

I know of no Christian that hasn't had this experience happen many times. We hear a sermon that is so suited to our circumstance we think the preacher has listened in to our private conversations or thoughts!

A ray of hope when we need it most.
