With a purpose

What are we here for?

Given that much thought? Have you tried to reason what your purpose is? You should. It's important.

Psalm 57:2 says, "I cry out to God Most High, to god, who fulfills his purpose for me."

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord. "They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope."

Now, that's not very specific. That doesn't mention cars and homes and jobs and bank accounts. But the fact that God plans for us to live in peace in a future filled with hope is pretty darn good.

God promises this, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him." That's, again, not very specific, but it is very, very wonderful. God plans to give us so many blessings that no one has seen them before.

What do you plan to do today? What is your idea of what God has for you? Whatever it is, God has so much more in store for you. What a wonderful, wonderful message to begin a day with.

Today let's go out and seek the face of God. Today let's go out and seek the plans of our Lord. Today let's search for our purpose.
