Scripture :” Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
Insight : We often go about our lives searching for our purpose. What are we meant to do in this life? Many people believe it is a career, living in a particular place, or service to a particular organization that is their purpose or duty. But here the scripture simply says fearing (to respect and submit to his will) and observing God’s commands is the WHOLE duty of man. This means that when we give our lives to God we are living in purpose daily, we have found and are fulfilling our purpose.
Prayer : God I thank you that my purpose is not tied to earthly things but is found only in You. I pray Lord that I will be set free from the things that hold me captive so I may fulfill my purpose. Amen
Have a great day
To be honest I am still asking the Lord what is my purpose? I try to serve him the best, but still have some ways that needs to be changed, I asked of prayer. I know that I have not tied to earthly things, my focus is on God..
I often remind myself of this and other related scriptures to try and remain God-focused in my daily walk with Christ. It’s not easy especially when the battle ground is within the mind and that’s where decisions are made. Lets us pray one for another for strength in areas we lack and to become overcomers in Him.
