Word from God’s Word-Purpose

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Purpose.

To have a purpose is to have a goal or intention to get something accomplished. With purpose, we wake up in the morning with motivation and direction.  The Gospel gives us the meaningful purpose for living out the will of God in our lives.

Philippians 2:13 says, “It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” That is where we find great joy, when we see God working in us and through us to make a difference in this world for the Gospel.

His love is the compelling influence for doing His will because His love has captured our heart. Rick Warren has said, “If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born BY His purpose and FOR his purpose.”

Discover how the word “Purpose” can have an impact on your Life in the Year of God’s Word.
