Day 2

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart;…

Jeremiah 1: 5

Fulfill Your Purpose or Attain the Status Quo

God has created every person for a specific purpose which would ultimately fit into His overall divine plan. Since your purpose was determined before your creation, God has placed in you the specific talents and gifts you need to fulfill that purpose.

You may even be one of those children whom parents refer to as an accident, because they didn’t plan your conception; but planned by parents or not, your birth was predestined by God. Your parents were vessels who brought you into this world, but it was God who created you for a purpose.

If you allow society to sway you away from your purpose, toward the status quo, you will miss your destiny. To men you may seem like a number, just another person on earth who is trying to make it in life, but to God you hold a piece of the puzzle which completes the big picture of God’s plan.

Many dear souls have bought into the lie that they are the result of an accidental event, the big bang or evolution. Having bought into this deception, disconnected from their creator, they may never find the true meaning of life and their purpose.

To find your purpose, you need to first get in contact with your creator. A personal relationship with God will give your life purpose and meaning. This kind of close loving relationship with God is possible through Jesus Christ. Ask Jesus to come into your life and turn from your own ways. Walk with God and He will walk you on the path of your destiny, whether you see that destiny right away or not. It took Joseph 13 years to realize that God had been walking him on the path of his destiny all along.

Prayer or Reflection

Lord, reveal to me my purpose, as I walk with you; and each day, show me the step I need to take toward my destiny. Amen
