Devotional
The answer to the topic for today’s devotional is yes; there is a difference between purpose and career.
Purpose is the fundamental reason for your existence. It’s about your values, beliefs and the impact you want to make on the world. Your purpose encompasses all aspects of your life, including relationships, hobbies, and personal growth. Your purpose is enduring and unchanging, a constant and a guiding force throughout your life.
Your career is the path you choose in pursuit for financial stability, personal growth, and professional development. It primarily relates to your job responsibilities, and achievements in the workforce. Your career can change overtime as you gain experience, explore new interests, or pursue different goals
Ideally, your career should align with your purpose allowing you to use your skills and talents to make a meaningful contribution to humanity. Your career may not perfectly mirror your purpose, but it can still be a valuable part of your process in life.
It is important to align your career to a purpose-driven life, that is the only time you will find fulfilment and satisfaction in all you do. Prov 19:21” Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” This verse encourages us to align our aspirations and decisions with God’s ultimate will, trusting in His sovereignty and timing.
In today’s text God wants us to engage in whatever we do in life with all our might as unto him, whether in your job (career) or work (purpose). Our reward for faithful stewardship is from Him alone.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- What are my core values? What principles are most important to me?
- What impact do I want to make on the world?
- How do I want to contribute to something larger than myself?
Let us Pray:
Thank you, Lord, for your word to me today. I receive grace to do all that I ought to do with all my might to the glory of your name in Jesus name Amen
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them
- I am grateful for the opportunity to discover and live my purpose
- I am confident in my ability to create a meaningful and lasting impact on the world
Live today purposefully, I’ll see you tomorrow.
