Emphasis Preaching Journal

A college psychology professor indicated that she would only accept her students’ midterm papers from Monday through Thursday of a certain week; she would not accept them prior to, nor after, the stated days. She was very clear: All papers delivered outside the specified times would not be accepted; the students would receive a zero. To her surprise, although the majority of students turned in their papers in the proper time period, there was still a substantial number who were either early or late. Paul says that at the acceptable time God listened to and helped us.
