PURPOSE​!​​ – 2 Timothy 1:9-10 Devotional by Pastor Cecil A. Thompson

2 Timothy 1:9-10

“He has saved us and called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

PURPOSE!

-Why am I here?
-What is the purpose of my existence?
-Has God given me a reason for being?
-Do I have an impact on the lives of those in my sphere of influence?
-Have I seen God at work in the lives of those around me because I was used by the Lord?

These are just a few of the questions we may ask ourselves to determine what God’s purpose is for each of us. I have even counseled people who felt that they had no spiritual purpose in life. Others had gifts and talents, but they had nothing to give, and so they left the work of the Lord up to others.

I once passed a church and saw a man I knew mowing the lawn. When I asked him if the church hired him to mow the lawn, he informed me that they had no idea he was doing it.

He saw a need and performed it.

I discovered that there were a number of elderly people that he also helped out. It was his purpose for those in need.

Your purpose in serving the Lord may not be a ministry such as preaching or teaching.

When the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to some need, no matter how insignificant it may seem, go for it!

Your purpose might seem unimportant to you, but obeying the Lord is vital to being a faithful servant.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
