Divine Appointments
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
Have you ever found yourself in a place that seemed completely unexpected or unfamiliar? Maybe it was a new job opportunity that required you to relocate, a chance encounter that led to a life-changing relationship, or a mission trip that took you halfway across the world. In those moments, it's easy to wonder, "Why am I here?"
But the truth is, God's placement is never random. He orchestrates every detail of our lives, including the places we find ourselves in. Whether it's a bustling city, a quiet countryside, a foreign land, or the comfort of home, God has a purpose for every location we inhabit.
Just as God strategically places people in our lives to teach us and shape us, He also leads us to specific places for a reason. Sometimes, He calls us to new environments to stretch our faith and expand our horizons. Other times, He positions us in familiar surroundings to deepen our roots and strengthen our connections.
Just look at the story of Joseph in the Bible. From the pit to the palace, God guided Joseph through a series of unexpected twists and turns, ultimately positioning him in a place of influence and impact. Despite the hardships and setbacks he faced along the way, Joseph trusted God's sovereignty and remained faithful to his calling.
In the same way, God is actively at work in the places we find ourselves today. Whether you're navigating a new chapter in your career, embarking on a mission trip, or simply going about your daily routine, know that God is with you every step of the way.
I want to encourage you to embrace God's placement in your life. Trust that He knows what He's doing, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. Whether you're called to stay or to go, to venture into the unknown, or to stay close to home, know that God has a plan and a purpose for you right where you are.
Wherever you find yourself today, remember that God's placement is never accidental. He has positioned you exactly where you need to be to fulfill His purposes and bring glory to His name. So, walk confidently in His guidance, knowing that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.

Thank you so much for doing these daily devotionals. The Holy Spirit is speaking directly to me, through you. I received a new job, new industry, new role and zero experience but I’m trusting God is working.
