God places you

The right spot for you is reserved for you.

By Gloria McElroy Pennell

Being In The right place at the right time is often regarded as a matter of luck. To many people, knowing what one's right place is can be very challenging—and getting it, something else altogether. Or so it would seem.

But the truth is that each of us as God's man—as the spiritual idea of God, made in His image and likeness—is never separated from God and His government. Man can never be a party to chance or circumstance, nor can he ever be misplaced or left out of good. As Science and Health points out,"The belief that man has existence or mind separate from God is a dying error. This error Jesus met with divine Science and proved its nothingness" (p. 42).

To the degree we understand our relation to God, we will experience the evidence of this understanding in our daily life. This evidence includes being in that place best suited for us.
