Right Where I'm Supposed To Be.

Reading Melody Beattie book "LETTING GO" and this stood out . "For today, we can believe that we are right where we need to be" .

Because i was watching The Equaliser 3 the other night and he said something also similiar.

I asked james to pick a step and he choose 11 first the 3. I read step 11 first in my  book "Codependents Guide To The Twelve Steps ...by Melody Beattie. 

And It said this in step 11. I had to laugh this is the third time this saying has came up!!!!

 " WE CAN TRUST THAT EACH DAY WE ARE EXACTLY WHERE WE NEED TO BE AND WHERE WE ARE MEANT TO BE" 


Then the story of Esther came to mind..... Esther 4:14 "BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS"

For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?

- Esther 4:14, NIV

More About This Verse
Meaning
God has a plan for your life. There are times when God will ask you to do things that are difficult. Can God accomplish His plans without you? Yes. But He asks you to participate in His plans because it strengthens your faith.

We may face uncertainty, failure, fear, and suffering as we try to fulfill God’s plans for our lives. But God is with us every step of the way. He is working all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

This verse was spoken to Esther because she found herself in a position to rescue her people, the Jews, from death. But, if she followed through with her plans to intervene, she put her own life at risk because of the laws at that time. Esther was reluctant, but she trusted that God sovereignly put her in that position at that time to do what needed to be done. This tested her faith, and God was working all things for good in her situation.
