It's Not An Accident

One of my favorite verses is Acts 17:26:

"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the EXACT places where they should live."


It bothers me to hear people say things like:

- I'm just killing time. - Are you really OK with wasting the most precious thing given to us which is time on this earth?

- Once I get THAT job, then I can make a difference. - If you aren't making a difference for God's Kingdom now, what makes you think things will change once you get that job or promotion?

- Or when people think the only way to do missions is to go to Africa or some third world country. - If we can't go across the street, do we really have any business going around the world?

It's time to realize that God has YOU divinely positioned at this EXACT place in history to serve His purposes to those around you!

Seriously, let that thought sink in.

Your job really isn't a job.  It is a divine calling from God whether you work there the rest of your life or for the next six months.

The place where you live is no accident.  God has divinely positioned you at that house or apartment to reach those around you.  Make no mistake about it - He wants you to love them and be Jesus to them.

It is no accident when interruptions happen throughout your day.  Don't get frustrated.  Instead figure out how God wants to grow you or use you in those moments.

Remember it is not an accident.

You only have one life to live so seize every moment God gives you on this planet!
