Your current environment has the tools you need for the next. Do not overlook the importance of your environment and where God has placed you currently just because it seems unbearable. If God has led you there and is speaking to you there, then it is GOOD!

God told the people of Israel in Jeremiah 29 that they will be in exile in a foreign land for 70 years. After the 70 years have passed, He was going to fulfill his Promise and visit them (to do what He said he will do). He told them to build houses, marry, seek the welfare of the land and be at peace. Basically live life as “normal” in a circumstance and environment that was no where near normal.
The goal was for them to eventually learn to trust God and depend on Him solely!

Nonetheless, in the midst of it all He never left them and watched over them always. There’s plenty in your now and today that is needed for your tomorrow. When you overlook the beauty in your current environment, you miss out on who you are to become for your next!

In this first episode of my Video Diary “The Importance of your Environment”, I share how the environment I really disliked at the time helped me to be who and what I am today!
