God's Purpose
“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps” 1 Peter 2:21
There is a purpose why God’s lead you to where you are today, wherever you work, you live, or the people that you meet, there is a reason.
Oftentimes, we find ourselves in the midst of trouble. It seems to come from a direction least expected and even from people that we would not expect at all. Yet, in Christ, there is a purpose in this as well.
Christ desires to form his character into our lives. We have a nature that continually resists this or any change. To help us change, to return our focus on Him, God allows, trouble to come into our lives.
It takes heat and pounding to create steel. God lovingly works in our lives and hearts, at times, much the same way. We are truly at our best in Christ when we are crushed, when our hearts are broken, and when we receive none of the glory, only He does.
God has many vessels that he works through; there are vessels that shine brightly, who seemingly overcome all obstacles, and who people recognize God working in and through greatly.
There are also vessels that are broken. These are seemingly crushed beneath trouble, heartache, and weakness continually. God works through them both, he has a purpose for all of his vessels.
~What kind of vessel are you in God’s hands?
~Do you recognize God’s purpose for you at work and away from work?
Heavenly Father, you have created us with purpose. Many times, we cannot see those purposes and so we trust you anyway. Father, you great love for us and we are grateful for your work in our lives.
