Seeking God's Purpose

When we look at our goals of life each one us has something to achieve or attain or possess. Some may want to buy a house or a car, a job, career, education, position, or even migration. Whatever it may be... these may be the important things in our life, yet we need to understand that they are not the most important ones.

As God's children we also have a divine goal to seek and work on... Look what the Word of God says,
Matt 6:31-33 (NIV)
(v.31) So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' (v. 32)For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. (v.33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

We are to seek first the purpose for which God created us uniquely. We have a role in God's Kingdom and that role can be done only by us. Otherwise it is left undone. So while we are busy pursuing our earthly personal goals, let us seriously take God's Word and seek to do His will for us in His Kingdom and fulfill the purpose of our life here on earth.

Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, please let me know the work that you have got for me in your Kingdom and help me to do it faithfully by your grace. In your precious name. Amen.
