²⁶ From one man^[a] he has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. (Acts 17:26 CSB)

You being here, right now, where you are, doing what you do, being who you are, is no accident.

God appointed this time and space for you. He also created boundaries we are all to live within. He did this, not because he wanted to limit us, but to provide limitless possibilities for who we are and where we are, in Him. That makes you a pretty big deal, really.

Yes, He has done this for all of us, but all of us uniquely. God does not see you as just another warm body. No, He sees you for the uniqueness that He created in you. You are special and tuned for the space and time you are in right now. He may make a change to that and send you down another special path soon. But for right now, you are exactly where He wants you and you are so special to Him.

Celebrities have their moments in the sun. But we have our moments under the Son. While celebrities flare and fade, we burn bright right up until we leave this planet. Many of you will burn bright far after with the legacies you leave. In fact we all do if that legacy is one that points ever toward God.

Make no mistake today, you are a big deal! The life you are living has weight, purpose and meaning.
