Bloom Where You Are Planted

“

"But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."

Jeremiah 29:7

God didn't put you where you are by mistake. He doesn't make mistakes.

When we believe in our hearts that God is good, that His thoughts toward us are peaceful, and that He is going to bring us through to the other side, we can rest and enjoy His peace no matter how strong the storm.

Like I said yesterday, wherever you are, whatever you're facing, pray. Pray for the place God is moving you to. Pray for the people caught up in your difficult circumstances. While it may feel like you're going through this alone, others are affected too.

Live in such a way that God is honored and gets the glory. The non-believers are watching, taking note of how you handle your mess. By blooming where you are planted, you do more to share your faith as a living testimony than any sermon could.

Listen, God doesn't want you to panic or run around trying to figure your way out. He asks you to stand still and see Him fight the battle, stand still and watch Him provide.

If Christ is in you, you will make it to the finish line. You'll see that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, but God Himself. You, my friend, will pass through your mess and make it to the other side.

Be Nice. Grace Wins.
