Most people want to live a meaningful life. They want to know that they made a difference at the end of their lives and that what they did meant something to someone. That is a perfectly normal and natural desire. We’re all only given limited time on Earth, and we might as well do something with it.
God, the Creator of the universe, has a will and purpose for every human life. No one was created by mistake. He has a plan for everyone to build and grow His kingdom. However, fully understanding God’s will for our lives sometimes requires time and patience.
Everyone wants things, including answers, instantly and immediately. However, God works according to His schedule and timing, which does not always match our desired timeline. Those answers will come at a time and pace that fits God’s desired timeframe.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael W. Smith and for KING + Country sing “Place in this World,” a song about looking and searching for a purpose in life. The beautifully written lyrics are relatable because we’ve all likely found ourselves in such a place, looking for answers and God’s will for our lives.
The song’s simple yet powerful chorus likely sounds and feels familiar to anyone who has ever asked God for His will in their life or even during a period of uncertainty.
“Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world”
Whatever the case may be, whether we ask Him for help and guidance in our lives or answers during a troubling and painful situation, God remains faithful. He does hear those prayers and will work it all out in His time.
1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”
