God has a purpose and plan for each of our lives, something unique he purposed for each of us as he created each of us in the womb of our mother (
Psalm 139:13-16). We need to discover that purpose and live it out as our life's mission. As long as we seek the
Lord's will, we can't do anything that can derail his ultimate purpose for us. If we seek Jesus, God is at work in our lives
"to will and to act to fulfill his good purpose" in us (
Philippians 2:12-13). He works all things out for our best good as we love him and live for his purpose for us (
Romans 8:28-29). Yes, we may at times stray from the perfect path he wants us to travel, but we never get totally out of the main channel of his will as long as we do not abandon him. Remember: He will never leave or forsake us (
Hebrews 13:5-6;
Romans 8:32-39). He will fulfill his great purpose for each of us.
O Sovereign God, please use the Holy Spirit to help me discern today what your purpose for my life is. I yearn to fulfill your plan and purpose for me. Thank you for loving me and promising to walk beside me every step of my life. I live trusting that you will never forsake me and are committed to being at work through the Spirit to transform me to become more JESUShaped in every area of my life and influence.* In the name of your faithful Son, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
