11-FEBRUARY-2025 - SOME LIFE LESSONS FOR PURPOSEFUL LIVING
THE MAIN THEME: PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
TITLE: SOME LIFE LESSONS FOR PURPOSEFUL LIVING
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Devotional:
When David faced Goliath in the Bible, I imagine that day was an ordinary day that turned extraordinary. Or when Joseph was called out of prison to come to the palace and help Pharoah interpret his dream, it must have been an ordinary day as well, but these ordinary days quickly turned extraordinary and defined the rest of their life because they were prepared.
The thing with living out our purpose is that it is a journey. Some people will discover early in life what their purpose is, while for others, it may be later. For some, what they thought was their purpose may change with changing seasons (or how they carry out that purpose may evolve), and sometimes, things will happen that makes the ‘purpose’ not feel like it was a God-idea in the first place. Life can sometimes feel like a puzzle.
Our verse today is an anchor verse, because it reminds us that no matter where we are in living out our purpose, we can trust God, we can do our best and put one foot in front of the other as we trust Him to guide us aright. Like David and Joseph, we can do our best, continue to hone our skills, have the right attitude, put our faith to work and show up prepared when the opportunity comes.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- What does it mean to trust God, even when I don’t understand the circumstances?
- Has there been a time where you saw the hand of God in something that did not work out?
- In what ways can I keep reminders of God’s faithfulness to help me stay the course when I am discouraged?
Let us pray:
Dear God, Thank you for planning out my days before I was born. I trust you to guide me to my expected destination, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- God has equipped me for every challenge.
- I will do my best each day, and trust God to bless my efforts.
- I am guided daily by the Holy Spirit, He will lead me to my glorious destiny.
Do have an awe-mazing day. I’ll see you tomorrow.
