You Are Where You Are

Throughout our life journeys we keep thinking about something. Most men do. We keep asking ourselves if we are in the right place, working at the right company, running and happy with our existing business we own, and much more. Our minds keep running around like an athlete, always trying for better. Are you where you are supposed to be? I should think so. Why? Because maybe that’s where you were always planned to be. I too have had these thoughts roaming in my mind, at times thinking that what I did, the move to go solo in life and my own business, was it truly meant to be? Yes, the economy threatens us, the times are in turmoil; life looks bleak.

In Matthew 5:14 we are reminded about something. It says, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” Wow! Do you see what God did? He planned everything around your life. You are where He wants you to be! The evidence that we know that God wants us where we are right now is that we are there. He knows exactly where we are. He sees us and He is with us. He is our God. What more can we ask for? We are here for one purpose! We must shine His light which is reflected through us to this world we live in. Where you are is where He wants you to shine each day. King David, before becoming king of Israel, was exactly where God wanted him to be; a shepherd and a warrior. God planned it this way before He became king; twelve years later.

You are where you are supposed to be because it is what God wants. High on the list of God’s purposes and plans is that we are His light in our existing areas of life, our regions and places of work, our homes and amongst the friends we have. This is where we must influence and impact lives for Him, to His glory. Jesus said we must not hide the light which radiates from us. We must keep it visible at all times. Through this we worship and praise Him, offering all glory to Him. Don’t allow your lights to dim when becoming too comfortable with your cultures, and the cultures of the places we find ourselves in. It is all about Him! Therefore, become that great shining light on that hill so that everyone can see the mighty God you serve, trust and love. Be blessed today and forever!
