Ephesians 2- Part 2

Do you feel out of place... or in the wrong job?    Do you feel like God has you in an odd job or something you don't feel equipped to do?  Do you feel like this daddy Eastern Bluebird sitting in the wrong nest?   Remember Jeremiah 32:27.        I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? Don't worry about what God has called you to do... Nothing is too difficult for Him.  Rest in Him... and know He will equip you for the job!
