My youngest child (pictured above) recently started kindergarten. I'm overjoyed (no more childcare) and emotional all at the same time. Well, he came home with his 1st homework assignment and included was a list of sight words. I was surprised to see that many of the words dealt with position and being.
As I helped my son recite words like "I am" and "I can," I couldn't help but think that even at a young age we were all called to identify with who we are, what we can do and where we should be.
But what about when we are older? What have we done with our foundational statements of being?
It says in Matthew 5:14 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Unfortunately, many of us are trying to hide. We want to escape the pressures of work and colleague problems. We want to run from greater roles and responsibilities both at home, work and at church. We want to shy away from the very purpose and plan God has for our life simply because of comfort.
I believe God through Jesus is restoring new sight words to us, and in them are new plans to position us for what he has designed us to be.
Place can be referred to as location or position. It can also be referred to as an assignment. No matter where you are, you have a place. Your 1st place though starts with Christ.
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6
God wants you to shine! He wants you to take your place on the hill, in the city and wherever else he is positioning you as a light.
A good friend of mine (JM) gave me a new declaration and I want to share it with you. Declare: "I am my calling and God I trust you to bring it to pass."
You have only 3 months remaining to the year. What are you planning to do before the new year begins. Are you going to prepare to take your place?
Love you all! Thank you for reading and sharing this blog!💗
