=WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE?=
Acts 13:36-37 (New International Version)
For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell
asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. 37 But the one
whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
There can be no greater testimonial to a life well lived than this statement
found in the book of Acts. Our days are like currency, precious coins kept
in the purse of our existence. Our days, as with natural wealth, can be
numbered in amount, though no man knows the amount each of us have left but
God. When the coins (days) of our life are spent, they are spent, and there
are no refunds. This sobering thought should motivate us to live with cause
and passion. What is important is not to fear them being spent, but rather
make sure we are investing each one of them wisely. When they are spent it
is what was purchased or accomplished with them that determines their worth
or success. Let this motivate us all to spend them well.
-Believers should not fear death because Christ has beaten it, rather death
should inspire us to live our lives well and on purpose. -
Many people spend their lives living for purposes that have no benefit to
anyone outside of themselves and that carry no eternal significance or
reward. In this life they may have much, but in the life to come they could
find themselves bankrupt.
Mark 8:36
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own
soul?
As followers of Jesus we have chosen something far better than living for
riches, but we have chosen to spend the currency of our days as David did,
for the purposes of God. As we daily do this we release ever the kingdom of
God, changing people's lives for the better and at the same time we get to
live a life worth living. Live on purpose – don't drift like a boat on the
ocean without an anchor, but walk with bold steps of divine purpose today.
Live for Jesus and the advancement of His kingdom on the Earth.
Live on purpose today Champion
