Living Out Your Purpose

Therefore, my loved ones, just as you always obey me, not just when I am present but now even more while I am away, carry out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes.

—Philippians 2:12-13

When Rick Warren wrote his life-changing book, The Purpose Driven Life, he helped us develop an awareness of how important our relationship with God is.

God designed us intentionally, and he alone knows what he has called us to do. No amount of self-searching will get us to the answer.

You may still be hoping to discover your life purpose, feeling slightly off center, somewhat less than fulfilled in your current career. If something is nagging you, causing you to be uncomfortable, urging you to shift your attention in a new direction, then today is a good day to stop and listen. Today is the day to go back to your Father for clear guidance and direction.

As Albert Einstein once said, "The life of an individual only has meaning insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value to which all other values are subordinate."

In the Flow

Lord, thank you for loving me so much and for designing me for a very real purpose. Help me keep coming back to you for guidance until the way is clear. Amen.
