Place: Where God wants you to be? Examples in the Bible: Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Esther, David, etc
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Proverbs 16:9
“The heart of man plans his way, but the
Lord establishes his steps.”
Where ever you are in life right now
(your location, your job, your title, etc), that is God wants you to
be. Grow where He has you at this time until He changes things!
________________________________________________________
Purpose: What God wants you to do; His will for your life-specific tasks or responsibility?
Examples: The Judges, Mary, etc
Psalm 57:2
“I cry out to God Most High, to
God who fulfills his purpose for me.”
Proverbs 16:4
"The Lord has made everything for its purpose"
Ephesians 1:11
"In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined
according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the
counsel of His will"
God wants you to do His will with the
gifts/tasks/responsibilities He has given you to fulfill your purpose!
Doesn't matter what you are...student, worker, a mom, a wife, a leader,
etc...figure out what God is calling you to do!

Provision: God fulfills your needs; even ones you didn’t know that needed to be met!
Examples: Moses, Daniel, The Apostles, etc
Philippians 4:19
"My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
2 Peter 1:3
“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory
and excellence
Matthew 6:11
“Give us this day our daily bread,”
Before time, now, and later God has you covered!
________________________________________________________
Perspective: The vision you are to have about God and your life; how you view the Word and the world around you
Examples: Adam/Eve, Jesus, etc
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
“as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are
unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that
are unseen are eternal.”
Isaiah 55:8
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.”
Make sure your perspective is the right one! Whatever happens it helps to think that God is doing things for your good!

Presence (of God): You’ll be able to feel presence of God the closer you are to Him.
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you
have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
God is always there! He isn't going to abandon His own!
If you don't feel God's presence or don't feel as close to Him,
consider what is going on with your relationship with Him? Are you in
sin? Maybe you're not reading your Bible or being in prayer enough?
Figure it out, so you can be closer to Him!
