When Benjamin Brown was called on a mission, he experienced a delay in his passage that appeared to be providential. Though the delay was initially puzzling, it became clear that God had ordained the timing of his journey for specific purposes. This delay allowed him to preach in Jefferson County and fulfill other divine purposes before departing for his mission field. The delay demonstrated that even seeming obstacles serve God's greater plan for the work.
