Power is the capacity to achieve purpose. Then what is God's purpose, and how does He achieve it? His purpose is to recover for Himself a people who love Him, obey Him, trust Him, serve Him. His purpose is to salvage from the sea of human self-wreckage a people who live for the praise of his glory.
When it comes to glorifying God here on earth… He shows us exactly how it’s done. It is done by completing the work He has for us to do. It’s not about living our own agendas and it’s not about our own success or power. It’s not about staying safe and being in our own little comfort zones, and, it’s not about hanging back and waiting until God shows up with your own personal lightening bolt or a burning bush. It’s about FINDING, KNOWING and LIVING your God-given PURPOSE!
It’s up to you to Ask, Seek and Knock. In Matthew 7: 7 God says, “Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened.” You were planned for a purpose that only you can fulfill. And it is not only about living the “purpose-filled” abundant life that God desires for you. It is about glorifying God… your creator… your Lord!
Do you know your God-given purpose?
Do you want to glorify God with your life?
Pray…ask God what He would have you do.
