Day 31
Do you know what you want?
Many of us are working towards some type of success. We each have our own goals and ideas of what that is. Surely this world pushes specific ideas about wealth, power, popularity, and authority but this is not what we believe if we are consistent in reading the word of God.
God has a different definition of success. The word of God says that we should not chase the things of this world: riches, fame, success, notoriety, awards etc.
We must continue to study the word of God to really know why we are here. By today we should have a better understanding of the following Purposes that were outlined in Rick Warren’s book “The Purpose Driven Life.” He claims that:
We are here to bring God Pleasure.
We were made to be part of God’s Family.
We were created to be like Christ.
You were created to provide a service.
We were made for a Mission.
What do these statements mean to you?
Before I go through each of these, I encourage you to journal your thoughts about what each of these ideas is referring to in the bible. Use this devotional as a reference. What verses did we meditate on that help support these ideas?
