stand where He has placed you…

“Just where you stand in the conflict,
 There is your place.
 Just where you think you are usless,
 Hide not your face.
 God placed you there for a purpose,
 Whate’er it be;
 Think He has chosen you for it;
 Work loyally.
 Put on your armor! Be faithful
 At toil or rest!
 Whate’er it be, never doubting
 God’s way is best.
 Out in the fight or on lookout,
 Stand firm and true;
 This is the work that your Master
 Gives you to do.” {Streams in the Desert/Selected}

“…wherever God has placed us, and in every detail of our daily lives, He has ordained the land we are to possess to its very borders and has ordained the victory to be won.” {SITD}

I don’t always understand. But I don’t have to. He does. And that’s all that matters.

So hang in there – it’ll make sense one day.

Or maybe it won’t.

But will that even matter if, at the end of it all, you’re sitting at His feet hearing Him say, ‘Well done.’…?
