Where you should be
For October 1st, 2025
Welcome to the very first Faith Exercises Monthly Article, a space where faith meets reflection. Each month, I’ll share a message inspired by prayer and experience to help you grow spiritually and walk boldly in God’s purpose. Let’s begin this journey together with October’s reflection: “God Knows Your Position.”
In Ezekiel 48, the prophet is given a breathtaking vision of the future land of Israel. Every tribe is assigned a specific portion. Nothing is random. Each boundary, each allotment, each gate is carefully measured. The picture is one of order, precision, and divine placement. God is showing that He not only restores His people but also positions them exactly where they belong.
This vision is not just about a future map of Israel, it’s a glimpse into God’s heart for His children. He knows where you should be. He knows your place, your calling, your future. He is the God of placement as well as the God of promise.
I’ve seen this in my own life. Years ago, I never imagined that one day I would live in America, be in ministry, run businesses, and write a book that is about to touch and heal billions of people around the world. At the time, none of this seemed possible. But God knew my position before I did. He knew where I would be and what I would be doing long before I could even dream it.
That’s what Jeremiah 29:11 means when God says, “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.”
It means that God has already lived in your future. Your future is God’s past. He’s not guessing where you’ll end up, He’s already been there, arranging every detail with love and precision. So when you walk into your tomorrow, you’re stepping into a place where God has already prepared the ground for you.
Maybe today you feel displaced, overlooked, or uncertain about your future. Ezekiel 48 reminds us that God is not random. He is intentional. He knows your position. He has a plan to place you where you should be, in your family, your career, your ministry, your purpose.
The only prayer you need to pray this month is this:
“Lord, place me where I should be. Not where I want to be, but where You want me to be.”
When you pray this way, you give God the freedom to align your life with His perfect plan.
Ezekiel’s closing words are powerful: “The name of the city will be ‘The Lord Is There.’” (Ezekiel 48:35).
When you allow God to place you, you’ll discover He was already there waiting for you.
Your Faith Exercise for October:
Take time each week to pray this simple prayer – “Lord, place me where I should be.”
Write down what changes or impressions God places in your heart. Notice how His positioning begins to shape your days, your choices, and your peace.
