I must admit making a blog entry daily is a bit challenging for me at times. Especially since I can be moody at times, not always wanting to do what I promise myself I‘ll do. Nonetheless, I awakened this morning with a desire to write and I pray for strength to stay focused on what my inner spirit is telling me I need.
In my reading of the book “The Purpose Driven Life” this morning a paragraph from the book resonated within my soul…”Without a clear purpose, you will keep changing directions, jobs, relationships, churches, or other externals—hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart. You think, Maybe this time it will be different, but it doesn’t solve your real problem—a lack of focus and purpose.” Oh my God, how true this statement is for me. This is exactly where I am right now in my life…without a lack of focus and purpose. How my soul longs to discover my purpose so that I might finally fill the emptiness within my soul. According to the author, Mark Warren, my purpose is …”You were put here to prepare for eternity”. God show me how to prepare for that which you created me.
Point to Ponder: “Living on purpose is the path to peace”—Lord help me to listen diligently to your voice so that I may understand my purpose and live each day in peace.
Verse to Remember: “You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.”….Isaiah 26:3—A seeking of God’s face daily gives me peace as He reveals his plan for my purpose.
Question to Consider: “What would my family and friends say is the driving force of my life? What do I want it to be?—my children and my fiancé are the driving force of my life. I seem to be happiest when I know that they are well and that I have the strength to help sustain them throughout their life journey. However, this is not what I want to be the driving force of my life. I desire instead to have a driving force appointed by God. A driving force from God would be more stable and without disappointments based on my expectations. God let your will be my will.
