"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited" ~Is 54:2-3~
As school starts back, we all want our children to have the greatest teacher, their best friends all in the same room, or the perfect schedule to ensure educational excellence, not to mention convenience!...but did we pray about it? Did we ask Sovereign God to place them in His perfect place for them? What ever season our children are in, God knows what each one stands in need of. He knows the person you and I need to influence us right now, whether in the classroom of a school or the classroom of life. People are put in our path for us to give and to gather. We can be-friend someone who really needs a friend. We can influence someone for Christ. And those someones can teach us from their pool of wisdom, life experiences they have encountered & share knowledge from their journey we may need just ahead on our journey. Trust where ever God has placed you-student, parent, teacher, friend-is right where God needs you to be. Enlarge your new territory, stretch out & don't hold back! Lengthen the cords of your influence for Jesus, and strengthen your stakes in His foundation for you in this perfect season. "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has mercy on you" ~Is 54:10~
