Strategically Placed

When God has His hand firmly on your life, you are strategically placed in this world for the moment.

I guess the big question is who actually places you: yourself or God? If you’re pretty much doing what you want, then that’s pretty much what you receive. God always has a different plan for your life than you do. So if life is going pretty much as you thought it would, then that’s because you are trying to be in control. God doesn’t use people who want to just do what they want. He is looking for people who want to do what He wants.

I believe most Christians do mainly what they feel like doing; they make a few concessions for God here and there, but most of the time I think they pretty much look out for their own interests.

God’s plans for us are different, but they are also all connected. It really is a small world for some of us. God will place you if you’ll let Him at just the right place and at just the right time.

You may not understand all that God wants to do still in your life. But all you have to do is remember what His word says in Proverbs 20:24, “A man’s steps are of the Lord, how then can a man understand his own way?”

It is a whole new world when you get up every day and are now letting God arrange your schedule. You’ve got to do your part…take time to pray and study God’s Word. That is where you’ll get your instructions in one way or another.

God wants you to know why you are here and lead you into the future.
