Get the appFace To Faithનમૂનો
Do you know why you were born?
That’s kind of a big question, isn’t it? Yet it is a question that all of us must answer if we want to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” when we get to Heaven.
I think it is more than that, too. We know that our lives will be the happiest, most fulfill- ing, most joy-filled that they can be when we are doing what we were made to do. God put a purpose inside of us and nothing else will satisfy us the same as doing what we were created to do in a loving relationship with our Creator.
Two things stand in our way. First, doubt stands in our way. We have to doubt our doubts and believe our beliefs. Don’t let anything convince you against the Word of God. Second, ignorance stands in our way. If we do not know God’s plan for our lives, then we cannot walk in it.
How do you overcome these obstacles? The obvious solution for the first one is spending time in the Word of God, searching out God’s promises. The answer to the second problem, however, is slightly different.
We have to seek God. And not just some half-hearted, when-you-feel-like-it, when-it’s-convenient, when-it-doesn’t-cost-you-anything-to-do-it kind of seeking Him. No. You have to seek Him with your whole heart!
Note that God says we are to do this kind of seeking through prayer. Have you prayed like this? Or are all your prayers no more than food-blessing, bedtime-type prayers? Look at God’s promise when we seek Him this way: We will find Him! Have you ever prayed until you found God?
This all means that God has to come first. What He thinks about your life has to be more important to you than anything else. You must have the mindset that says you will live, not by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Then you will discover His wonderful plans for your life; you will begin to live out the reason you were born.
Prayer
Father God,
Thank You for Your wonderful plans for me. I choose to seek You with all my heart! Help me to find You, and to find the reason You created me.
Amen
