October 22 Devotion

God created heaven and earth. And, God created everything on it. So we can conclude that God created us. And we were created to to bring glory to God. Not to ourselves. Not to others. Not to anyone. Our purpose is to bring glory to God. One way we can do that is by serving others. 

We are to live intentionally striving to serve our Lord and Savior. That might sound impossible. Or we can question how we can do that if we are not a pastor. Or if we’re not on staff at church. Or don’t work in the missions field. Our day-to-day lives (Careers, education, families, etc.) might not be Christ centered. That’s most likely true for majority of us. But, that’s what we are called to do: “Go and make disciples.”

So now…let’s think about our lives. Our purpose. And let’s determine how it aligns with what we’re called to do. I’m certain we can all find ways to better fulfill our heavenly purpose. I truly believe that if we take inventory of what we have in our lives, we can find ways to fulfill this purpose. If you struggle with this, I suggest you pray for guidance and wisdom. And I promise you that God will show you what he wants you to do. I know I’ve challenged us with this repeatedly recently. That’s because I’m challenging myself. We’re in this together. So let’s work together with the same end goal. To show God’s glory to the world.
