Purpose In Him

#purpose #christ

What inspires you to hop out of bed each day?

Life can get pretty boring when we get stuck doing things which are of little interest to us. It gets even worse when we imitate and live the lives of others.

As Christians, we are called to live purposeful lives designed Only by God. As “His workmanship”, we live not by our own merits but by His and for Him. As a result, we should constantly ask ourselves if our daily choices reflect the fact that we are His workmanship.

Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

These are God’s words to Jeremiah, and they apply to us as well.
God reminds us that we are no strangers to Him, we’ve been chosen and consecrated and just like Jeremiah, God has appointed us “prophet to the nations” and for greater works.

Unfortunately, many of us are led astray because we do not depend on His words declared upon our lives. We seek to understand our purpose in life from wrong sources.

Hosea 4:6
“my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…”

We are therefore called to seek wisdom and knowledge from the Word of God. Depending on it and nothing else. From His Word, we gain a better understanding of our true purpose in life and His plans for our future. We are being reminded in

James 1:5, that,
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

Ask in Prayer, meditate regularly on His word and constantly declare His words over your life.

Be reminded that, He is working for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

Do have a Blissful weekend. You are Loved!
