You Were Born for This Time and Place—Why Did God Appoint You Here?

Ever wondered why you were born in this century, this nation, this moment in history—and not some other? It’s not random. Scripture says God “marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands” (Acts 17:26–27). You are where and when you are on purpose.
According to this passage, the reason God planted us in this exact time and place is so we would seek Him and perhaps reach out and find Him. Every friendship, hardship, neighborhood, and job you’ve experienced is part of His appointed plan to draw you closer and help others find Him too.
You don’t need a time machine to live meaningfully. The same God who designed the cosmos designed your timeline. You were born for such a time as this—because someone around you needs your unique light now.
Would you want to live in a different time or place if you could?
How might God be using your present moment to draw you—and others—closer to Him?
“God has made divine appointments for your life!”
