“For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want.” John 6:38
The biggest mistake I have made is trying to figure out what “my” purpose is. I have gotten so caught up in asking God who, what, when, where, and why, when I should have been asking Him how. Lord how can I fulfill “Your” purpose for today?
I believe when we start asking about “our” purpose it is because we have taken our eyes off of God and placed them upon ourselves, which makes complete since why overcoming “me” is SO important.
If you have noticed in our Scripture this week Jesus says I have come to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what “I” want. He also says over in John 10:10, “My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.”
Before we can even begin to know His purpose for our lives we must begin to understand Christ’s purpose. So for today my purpose is to become even more Christ like than yesterday; it is to do the will of God who created me, and to please Him and not myself or the world.
Prayer: Lord change me from within making me pure so I can become a utensil You can use for Your purpose. May all I do and all I say be pleasing to You. Show me how Lord I can fulfill Your purpose for today. Amen
