A Place In This World

I am sure that Madelyn has a lot of questions to why her world has changed. Her life changed in a moment, including  habits . . . language . . . and people.  She must be thinking the big question . . . “Why?” . . . a powerful question that is often left unanswered.  

Madelyn will learn she has been given her place in this world.  Too often we fail to take the time to really understand why we are where we are.   

God has created a specific place for us in this world.  It is a gift that is easily taken for granted.   The generation of people that God saved by opening the Red Sea  and . . .  providing a dry pathway . . . forgot about the power of God would take them all the way to the  Promised Land.  They let fear control them rather than faith to lead them. And, they missed out on what God had for them.

Joshua wanted the people to remember God had provided a way through the high waters of the Jordan River to bring them to the Promised Land.  So.  He used the stones to remember God is always faithful: then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off ' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever." Joshua 4:7

The people need to know that God had given them a place in this world.

Let faith lead you to the place God has for you. 

Learning with you to KICK START the day by going where God wants you to go.
