Day #4
God knows our Purpose
I like using artist analogies because I relate to the creative process of an artist. One thing we must understand about God is that he is no ordinary artist. He is a master artist. He takes his time during the planning process. His attention to detail is so precise that he knows exactly how the artwork is going to turn out, even before he starts the creative process.
You must understand that you are a masterwork to God because he created you. He is still creating you.
Some people may walk by an artwork and consider it instantly as a masterpiece. They then form an aesthetic response and various opinions about the work. They might stop and ponder about the message that the artist was trying to relay. They may just admire the beauty of the work. However, they can never fully explain the original purpose for creating the work. Only the artist could do that. Only the creator of the work can explain his original concept and the original purpose for making the work.
If we really want to know why God made us, we must ask him directly. In order to ask him directly we need to develop a relationship with him. In the meantime, you should know that God knows. He knows every plan that he has for you. He knows your purpose, so we trust that he is preparing us to be masterpieces!
Meditate on this verse:
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
Do you have any thoughts hidden in your heart about what God has already planned for you to do? Do you have a dream that you think no one is really going to take seriously? Sometimes, the ideas that we are most protective of, are the ones that will navigate us to our purpose. You must continue to ask God . . . what did you create me to do on this earth?
