Another way to say this verse is, Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.

Have you ever felt that God put you in a situation for a reason?

I feel that way almost every day.  I KNOW that God is using me every single day.

At one of my past jobs, I started traveling a lot.  When I say a lot, I mean a LOT. The first 11 years of our marriage and the first 10 years of my kid’s lives the most time I spent away from them was maybe one or two nights a year. Then I was asked to start traveling every other week for just over 3.5 years.

It was a HARD change for our entire family.

What kept us going was the knowledge that God had a purpose for me when I traveled.  I can’t tell you how many marriages I might have saved, or how many people I was able to talk about God with, or how many people who had been away from home for weeks that I was able to give comfort too through God.

You see God created me for that moment every time I talked to an Uber driver, flight attendant, hotel concierge, coworker, etc.

God gave my family the strength to preserve through those times as well.

I was created, just like you were created by a maker who has a plan for us.

Have you ever looked up at the redwoods, or out at the ocean, or admired a mountain, or a great valley, or noticed the gigantic blue sky. You see the same God that created all of that created you.

He has a purpose for everything he does.

And he created you for a reason.

Never lose heart that God has a plan for you!

Look at every situation as though this IS the moment for which you were created!
