WHERE HE HAS PLACED YOU
Today's reading: Genesis 1-4

"Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had created." Genesis 2:8 NLT

With all the 'what-ifs' running through our minds in regards to this new year, let this settle your mind...

God has you where He needs you for today.

That's right.

If God chose to place Adam in the garden of Eden...

If God chose to place Daniel in the lions' den...

If God chose to place Esther in the palace...

If God chose to place Saul on the road to Damascus...

If God chose to place Simon the Cyrene on the road to Golgotha...

Then we can be assured that for today, and maybe tomorrow, and until He decides a change of environment is needed, you are where He needs you to be.

So look around.

If you choose to look with the intention of seeing what God is doing around you, it will change what you see.

The comfortable place you're in becomes a place of grace.

The cozy spot you're in becomes a place of miracles.

The ho-hum location you're in becomes a place of hope.

The trying foxhole you're in becomes a place of anticipation.

The boring rut you're thinking you're in becomes a place of excitement.

Change your focus.

God has you where He wants you to be for now, enjoy the view!
