You Are Here For a Reason!

"I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen." Jeremiah 29:11 (The Message)

At times, it is hard to grasp that God has a plan for good for our lives. Times of crisis, times of chaos, even the grey days can make us feel like God is nowhere around! But of course that is not the case. God uses everything that happens to us, to bring us closer to Him and to his purpose for our lives.

Believe this, and your stress level should diminish. Walk in Him, knowing that no matter what this day looks like, you will find His goodness is overflowing! Former Senate Chaplain and Presbyterian pastor Richard Halvorsen was fond of quoting this benediction”

Remember, you go nowhere by accident,
Wherever you go, God is sending you.
Wherever you are, God has put you there,
God has a purpose in your being there.
Christ Who indwells you has something
God wants to do through you where you are.


Do you have times when the world seems so dark that you can't see God at all? Remember we walk by faith and not by sight (or feelings!). God's hand is on you - in all times and all situations. And He is doing a work in you and through you, right where you are, whether you can see it or not!

Where are you today? What is God doing in you and through you?
