His Placement

Deuteronomy 11:13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 

Who wants to always be the last person in line, the end of the pick when teams are being formed, or the final call when sitting waiting for something good?  No one.  We like to have our named called first when something good is happening.  It makes us feel wanted and special – picked and chosen!

If we pay attention to the Lord’s commands (remember: loving the Lord with all our hearts and our neighbor as ourselves), then we are at the top – never the bottom!

The bible says in several places that those who are first shall be last, and those last shall be first, but it’s never referring to we ourselves doing the placement.  It’s God who places, who chooses, and who sets. And he never puts us last or at the bottom of a pile to be trampled on and forgotten.

Feeling like the tail, today?  Seeing yourself underneath a pile from which you can’t even budge loose?  God didn’t place you there.

So ask him to let you see where He places you, and you’ll soon realize the view is from the top – not the bottom – because that’s His placement for you!
