Where He has you

I had a friend that had gone through struggles with substance abuse and ended up going through rehab. Upon completing rehab, this friend told me one day that, since he had completed rehab, he felt as of he "deserved" a different wife, different job, different life. Hmm...

This friend felt that his transformation made him "better", which it had, and the "better" him deserved better. I told him that GOD certainly had big plans for him, and wanted the best for him, but, he really needed to ask GOD what He wanted.

Today's word is 1 Corinthians 7:20, NKJV, which reads, "Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called."

The Corinthians were coming to accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR, and, much like my friend, some were feeling that they needed to do something different to "prove" they were "worthy". What Paul was reminding them, and us, is that we aren't better because of anything we do; we are justified, "better" because of the Blood of JESUS.

GOD can use us exactly where He has us. He has a plan, and all He needs from us is our faithfulness, our willingness, and our obedience. GOD can use you where He has you.

Be Blessed,
