What If You Are Just Where God Wants You?

Someone said these words to me recently:
“What if you are just where God wants you?”
I’ve been having what I call “coincidences” happen to me for the past 3 months. For example, I’ll be asking my nephew what his favorite poem is while checking my email on my phone, then get an email from someone wanting me to check out their poetry. Or I’ll be looking online for a specific hat for my son one day, then the next day someone sends me the hat unsolicited in the mail. I’ve gotten over my shock ed at the frequency at which they are occurring and told myself that it’s God’s way of telling me I’m *exactly* where he wants me to be right at the time he wants me to be there. That statement is not as easily accepted as it is typed. There are things happening right this instant that are among the hardest things this life has ever dealt me. If I’m being totally honest, I don’t want to be exactly where I am in every aspect of my life. Still, I believe that God may have set me up for this time and he has me precisely where he means for me to be. Each day brings new challenges, lessons and victories but the idea that God knows right where I am right in the middle of the storm encourages me to keep moving and see what the end will be.
So I’ll pose the question to you; ESPECIALLY if you are in one of life’s rough patches.
What if you are PRECISELY where God wants you to be at this very moment?
Be encouraged.
