What Is Your Purpose?

The question of what is your purpose came to me at a time of distress.  Perplexed by self I realized I was straddled as my grandmother would say.

God has designed for my life a plan for his purpose, not my purpose.  My purpose I learned is self-centered and not God-centered.  In other words I was attempting to control my life and using God only when I fell into divers of temptations.  The Secular Humanist would love me for that type of thinking, however it isn't Christian Theism it's rebellion.

All the while God was teaching me humility and patience I withdrew as I thought.  But what was really happening I learned; God was getting me to be still.  He brought me to a place of nothingness.  In this place there were no new opportunities, no activity and it is a very uncomfortable place to be in.  Once in this spiritual wasteland I constantly wanted to know from God what is really going on, and when He finally answered me I was convicted to the core of my soul.

God placed each and everyone of us on earth for His purpose, not for ourselves but for him.  God loves to hear our praise to him continually; "I will bless the Lord at all times:  his praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1)

Discovering one's purpose in life should be God-centered.  If you call yourself a Christian don't be so quick to give the Devil credit.  It may be God directing your path and needs your undivided attention.  For those who are striving to remain on earth I suggest you start living it up because for those of us who know this is not our home we will never be satisfied with anything on this earth. This is a temporary assignment.

I thank God for chastening me.  I now know my part.  He desires praise, he deserves our love for he loves us more than any human can love because he did give his only begotten son. 

"Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding." (Isaiah 29: 16, Key Bible KJV)
