Day 41

41 days after Hudson’s Tumor was taken out, His first MRI was done where there was no tumor in his head

41 days before we came home from Memphis was Day 1 of his last cycle of chemo.

It rained for 40 days and 40 night while Noah was on the Ark (Genesis 7:12 “And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.”)

Moses was on the mountain for 40 days (Exodus 24:18 “Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.”)

Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days (1 Samuel 17:16 “For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.”)

Jonah preached to Nineveh for 40 days (Jonah 3:4 “Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”)

Jesus fasted and was temped for 40 days ( Matthew 4:1-2 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.)

After Jesus’s resurrection he appeared to the disciples for 40 days (Acts 1:1-3 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach ² until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. ³ After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.)

Do you know what happened on day 41?

The rain stopped, the 10 commandments were revealed, David killed Goliath, God stopped his plan to destroy Nineveh, the devil fled and Jesus returned to heaven.

The good things are coming! In Gods timing

Ecclesiastes 3:1 say that “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven”

God always has the perfect time for everything, However it just might not be the timing you think it should be.

I saw someone else share about the 41 days on my Facebook and I decided to count just to see if it fit in my life anywhere. Gods timing is wild sometimes, It fit perfectly into 2 different places.

The best example which I also stated at the beginning is The start of round 6 of Chemo. I didn’t know that would be his last round, we were suppose to have 2 more rounds of chemo. But in Gods timing he went home 41 days after the beginning of Round 6. Which would be his last.

It is crazy to me how that fits into my life so perfectly, I would never have thought about it if it wasn’t for seeing that post about 41 on Facebook. Which is not a new idea, several people even have the number 41 tattooed on them to remember how the best is yet to come.

It is all in God’s Timing.
