Right Where You're Meant To Be
Trusting God to Bring Clarity (Inspired by Psalm 139:1–6)
There are seasons in life when things just don’t make sense.
You do your best to make wise choices, to pray, to listen for God’s leading - but it still feels like you’re walking through a fog. The next step isn’t clear. The timing doesn’t make sense. The answers don’t come.
And in those moments, it’s easy to feel like you're drifting - unseen, uncertain, maybe even a little forgotten.
But then we read something like Psalm 139, and it stops us in our tracks:
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me... Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. - Psalm 139:1, 3
Suddenly, we’re reminded that we are NOT wandering aimlessly.
God is NOT distant. And He isn’t confused or behind schedule. He sees it all!
He knows exactly where you are and what you're carrying!
Let’s be honest - most of us want a full map before we take the next step.
Thou understandest my thought afar off… there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. - (v 2, 4)
You don't have to explain every emotion to Him. You don’t need a five-year plan to be in His will. You just need to trust that He’s already in the details....both the ones you see and the ones you don't.
One of the most reassuring truths in this passage is verse 5
Even when you can’t see the whole picture, the One who holds the picture sees all of you and He’s working ALL things together for good.

We want clarity now!
We want to know the “why,” “when,” and “how” of what God is doing. But often, He gives us just enough light for the step in front of us. Why? He wants us to trust the Guide, not just the plan!
Psalm 139 reminds us that we are FULLY known - not just in our good moments or when we feel confident and spiritually strong - but in our confusion, our waiting, our weakness. He knows our routines, our restlessness, and even the words we don’t say. And not only does He see the outside - He understands what’s stirring in our hearts, even before we do.
I don't know about you, but I feel a sense of comfort knowing THAT!

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
He’s not just watching your journey - He’s actually surrounding it!
He’s not just watching your journey - He’s actually surrounding it!
Behind you: covering the mistakes, the regrets, the things you wish you could redo.
Before you: preparing the way, opening doors, setting divine appointments you can’t yet see.
And right now, His hand is upon you, holding you steady.
We often think we need clarity to have peace..... but the Word of God shows us the opposite - peace comes from presence, not full understanding.
Maybe today you feel like you’ve missed something.

Like, you should be further along, or like God’s plan is for everyone else but you?
This Psalm says otherwise!
You ARE seen.
You ARE known.
And you ARE right where you need to be for God to move in your life.
He hasn’t lost track of you. He’s not waiting for you to figure it out. He’s patiently guiding, gently shaping, lovingly preparing. Even when things look blurry, He’s bringing it all into focus - bit by bit, piece by piece.
So take a breath. Let go of the pressure to control the outcome. Rest in the truth that you are surrounded by a God who knows the way forward....because HE is the one who designed it.
Please, let Psalm 139:1–6 be your reminder today.
