“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” Ephesians 2:10, NIV.
A tool can be utilized much more effectively when we know the purpose of it. For example, a spoon was created for eating soup. When that spoon is doing what it was designed to do, it is most useful. However, take that same spoon and use it to cut steak and you will have a great deal of work ahead of you. Eating is going to be much harder, overwhelming and frustrating. As good as the steak is, you can’t enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed.
Aside from our purpose to live for Him, God wants to use you for what He created you for. You are an original, built and designed by God with a specific purpose in His mind, not yours. Without walking in His purpose for your life, it will be hard, full of toil, frustration, confusion and fear. Don’t fight against it any longer. Yield and completely surrender to Him. Seek God and get in your lane of purpose.
Within your purpose, you will be most effective, fulfilled, and life will be enjoyed like He meant to be.
Prayer: Father, thank You for creating me with a purpose in mind. I desire to know that purpose. I surrender my life to You. Help me cooperate with You everyday of my life as I allow You to use me! In Jesus name, Amen.
I struggle with this so much. I am a firm believer in God and that his Son died for my sins. However, I never feel like I connect. No matter how much I read, study and pray. I feel like I’m spinning my wheels, and never feel saved, and lack a true personal relationship.
Good morning Daniel, this is Bernard from the SOTK Family. I just wanted to see how you were doing and to let you know we are praying for you. Thanks and God bless!
Thank you Father Lord for your divine purpose in my life. Help me Lord to achieve that which You have designed for my life in Jesus Christ mighty name. Amen
God I surrender to you.help me to do your will…help me to get in my lane…amen.
I absolutely receive this truth! Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about being in agreement with God so this is confirmation for me. Blessings for this!!
