Todays supermarkets and other stores use an inventory process called "Just in time". This means that the product comes in just before it will be sold.
In fact supermarkets only have about three days worth of inventory before they would run out, if the next load didn't come in.
Its a remarkable process and one I didn't quite grasp until last night.
Have you ever asked a grocer for something they didn't have on the shelf? They shuffle off to the back of the store, for an eternity, then come back and usually say, "Sorry we are out".
Last night I got done backing into the dock at a Spokane Fred Meyer. I went inside to watch the product get unloaded. Then a grocer came back looking for a multipack of Brawny paper towels.
The forklift operator said the paper towels were on my truck. She removed a couple of pallets and viola there they were, the pallet of paper towels.
Wow, talk about just in time! I drove those over staight from Seattle and the customer drove them straight home. They never even had a shelf life!
I always wondered what those grocers did, that took so long, to bring back the item I had asked about. Now it makes me wonder if the truck bringing it had just arrived.
For a spritual angle try this thought out. God has promised His forgiveness and reconciliation. We simply provide the sinner, He provides the saviour. He never stocks the shelves until we turn to Him. Then bammo slammo He transforms us.
His truck of salvation has been waiting on the dock. "Just in time" His salvation is ready. It is ready right now. I can't promise you the truck won't have left tomorrow.
Super absorbing, sin destroying, all powerful, Jesus has fought the fight and won the victory. Don't wait to try and find out "Just in time".
