"What Do You Want Out Of Life?" February 12, 2019 Black History Month Devotional

I cry out to God Most High,

    to God who fulfills his purpose for me.

Psalm 57:2

What is the purpose of your life? Can you state what you want out of life in 10 words or less? Without the awareness of purpose there is bound to be abuse or misuse of anything or person. Living without a clear purpose for your life is like driving without a clear destination in mind.

God created human beings with the general or collective purpose of having dominion or reflecting the pattern of what is established in the heavens, on the earth. However, every being on earth has a specific purpose or goal in life. Here are some examples:

·  The purpose of John the Baptist was to prepare the way for Jesus’ arrival on earth.

· Jesus purpose on earth was to “destroy the works of   darkness”.

·  The purpose of both Elizabeth and Mary were to be mothers to John the Baptist and Jesus respectively.

·  Nelson Mandela would have been 100 years old on July 18, 2018. He stated his life purpose as being “to create a free society” and that he did despite many obstacles including poverty, institutionalized racism, and imprisonment. 

·  My purpose is to “empower leaders to create holistic wealth to fulfill their purpose”.

As we determine the purpose of a product by consulting the manufacturer’s manual so human beings must refer to our manufacturer’s manual, the Bible, for our purpose.  As we walk in the collective and known purpose for humanity, we will find our individual purpose.  If you have not yet identified your purpose and are not able to state it in 10 words or less, today let it be your quest to do so. It will open doors to a whole new world!!!
