than in my own?

MIND



And if a Levite come from any of thy gates
out of all Israel, where he sojourned,
and come with all the desire of his mind
unto the place which the Lord shall choose;
Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God...
Deuteronomy 18:6-7a


Meditation:
Do I feel this place to be of the Lord's choosing?

Affirmation:
The desire of my mind is to serve God where I am, in this day.

Prayer:
I adore your caring for me through time and place, Father God; and setting
me where I can do the most good.
