Belonging Where We Are

Greetings. As we begin this week, let us embrace where we find ourselves.

Whether in familiar or new places, we may feel out of place, not because we truly do not belong, but because of how others respond to us. Sometimes, it is possible God puts us in these strange places to help us grow and shine for His glory, even when we or others question whether we belong.

1 Corinthians 1:28 (GW)

28 God chose what the world considers ordinary and what it despises—what it considers to be nothing—in order to destroy what it considers to be something.

Lesson: Appreciate the unique and strange places you are experiencing by noticing the sights, sounds, and feelings that surround you. God, in His wisdom, may have placed you there.
