There are times we can be so occupied about our lives that we overlook the purpose behind them. We are driven by the demands of life and not understanding that God dependably has a more prominent purpose. His purposes include our lives, as well as the lives of everyone around us—at home, school, work etc
God has built up His purposes for our lives—nobody can transform it. What door God has closed, no man can open and what door God has opened, no man can close. Individuals will destroy themselves in endeavors to influence a circumstance to turn bad for believers, yet God will still achieve his will.
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails"
Proverbs 19:21
Even people in successful businesses have clearly defined mission statements which fuel the direction of their companies. . Sadly, many people live their lives today by aiming at nothing. It's much easier “getting somewhere” if you know where you 're going.
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out”
Proverbs 20:5
Jesus arrived on earth with a clear purpose for His life
Matthew 1:21
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
In the midst of His ministry, He underscored that purpose When He said,
“the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost”
(Luke 19:10).
Harsh circumstances can make it hard to see God's purpose particularly when we just feel torment and anguish. we would prefer not to be reminded that God is working for our good, nonetheless in the event that we work on living our lives with the belief that God is working things out for us, we can have smoother progress of tolerating difficulties.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose"
Romans 8:28
Take a moment to read from God's word today. You'll find it filled with statements that will give purpose, meaning and direction to your life.
Live for God
The promise and counsel of God is that; you will not die, but live, and tell of the works of the Lord > Psalm.118: 17
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
He has also promised to satisfy you with long life and show you His salvation.
Salvation is just the start for Christians as we were spared to do acts of kindness for the sake of Jesus. The guarantee of time everlasting and living free from the subjugation of wrongdoing is a great endowment of salvation. These guaranteed blessings free us up to be about God's business consistently. We have to begin our mornings with a supplication requesting that God uncover to us His purposes for that day.
“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace"
2 Timothy 1:9
With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my devotion.God has given you, this one life; are you spending it or investing it? To spend means to use up, to exhaust, to devote your energy to something that doesn't give you full life, like the prodigal son (Luke 15: 11-21;) but to invest is to put something into what you do with deliberate intention in order to get profit out of it. The Lord wants you to invest your life' in living for the Lord and doing good works.
Every one of us are conceived with a purpose and calling that we can find or totally miss. The impact of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers gives us understanding to His purposes for us. We discover peace and strength when we sense the affirmation of the Spirit that we are in the ideal place at the opportune time of our assigned calling.
When you wake up in the morning, don't take it for granted; you should declare like' the psalmist:
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in him”
Psalm 118:24
Be full of thanks; it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not
Lamentation 3:22
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed. Appreciate God for life and live for Him.
