What
is our purpose in Life?
But seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
At
my place of employment each morning before we start the work day our staff opens
with a devotion and prayer time. I am so thankful that I work where God is put
first. This morning our devotional was to find our purpose in life. I know that
our purpose is to worship the Father but sometimes it is so easy to lose our
focus and take our eyes off of what we are really meant to do. It seems that
being a wife, mom, friend, or daughter just takes over and I loose what my real
purpose is. I am not saying that it is not part of our purpose to be the best
wife, mom, friend or even daughter. What I am saying is that we can’t be the
best at this life if we don’t put our worship to God before everything else.
In the mornings before we start our day is a
great time to check in with God and thank him for that entire he has done for
us. This could be as simple as saying thank you for waking me up and giving me
another chance to glorify your name. I would love to say that I am great at
this and that I start everyday out this way.
The truth is I get busy then I am in a hurry and I am out the door
sometimes before I ever speak to the father.
Recently, I had a friend to introduce me to
morning stretches and just praying through. I have another friend that I told
about this and we meet in the mornings before work and do it together. It has
been a great tool to help hold each other accountable. When my mind and heart
are focused on my true purpose in life to worship my heavenly father it seems
that everything else just goes so much better. Then I can be a better wife,
mom, friend, or whatever other title I hold.
My prayer is that today you and I both make a conscious effort to remember live
out our purpose to put Christ first and worship him with a will heart so that
we can be our best in everything else.
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established
