| LIVING THE
SOLUTION WITH DAILY INSPIRATION |
It's in
Christ that we find out who we are and what we are
living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and
got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs
on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose
he is working out in everything and everyone. (Ephesians
1:11-12 — The Message)
People look for the “meaning” of
life in so many places. They look to the New Age movement,
astrology, their work, their spouse, friends, or hobbies.
Some get stuck in a time warp and never grow out of their
high school years or some other phase of life. They’re
all looking for their purpose and constantly asking “why
am I here?” There is one place and one place only
where we will ever get that question answered and that’s
in God. He created us with a purpose in mind, He alone
can reveal to us what that purpose is. I tell you this
for sure that whatever purpose that is it will be centered
in Him. As Paul says, it is in Him (God) that we will find
out who we are and what we are living for.
The other thing I know for sure is whatever your purpose is it will and does
involve “glorious” living. Now just what does that mean? First, it
does not mean gloriousness in the form of wealth. I believe it means gloriousness
in terms of purpose, meaning and results for God’s kingdom. It is gloriousness
in terms of those we help, fight for and see moving into becoming the people
God created them to be.
If you have been looking any place other than God for your meaning and purpose
in life STOP and take that question to Him. You will never, and I mean never,
find the answer you are looking for and need until you do.
Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,
