Day 40: Live Life Devotional

Day 40

The Process of Purpose

Every intricate part of your development takes time, planning, vision, and revision.

God is the artist and he has chosen our spirits to be his medium. He understands the intricacies of us. He has formed each and everyone of us to be a tool to paint his masterpiece. God has made and specifically designed the tools to create the marks that he wants to see in this world. God is painting Heaven in this world. But Heaven cannot stay in a dying world. We are the manifestation of the thoughts of our God. Trouble and blurred vision comes when the inexperienced come to add or take away from God’s vision; God’s purpose. Trouble comes when the tools which God is using have a mind of their own and start messing up all of the beautiful strokes he has already made. Lines get crossed, colors are dulled, and the picture becomes unclear because of ignorance and opinions that don’t line up with the original vision.

We notice that in God’s artistry, he has decided to make us individual artist as well as tools to create his vision. There is always levels with God, always a deeper meaning. Let us keep looking at and studying to get a better understanding of what God’s purpose is for us.

Your purpose will always have something to do with what you are doing now. The things that you have been through, the things you have seen, the people you lost, and the people that you have met. An intricate woven tapestry of situations and events have lead you to this exact place. You are special. You are awesome. You have purpose.

When you do receive your Vision from God. Write it down. Become very familiar with the word of God to make sure it aligns with God’s purpose. Sometimes we can receive mixed messages if we are not consistent in our walk. Sometimes we can run off course when we fail to consider God’s advice. As you work towards your Vision, it will become simplified and revised. This is necessary for the vision to come into fruition.

It takes time to receive your vision and to reach your vision. It will take planning on your part and hard work. Have faith and press forward, believing that everything that God has shown you in the vision will come to pass. God will elevate you and increase your knowledge. God will make you influential so that you can spread his word.

What is that thing that you love to do? The thing that you will spend money on and lose sleep over. This is the thing that you do to the glory of God. This is the thing that you do to advance the Kingdom of God. This is the gift that God has given you to develop in order to provide a service to the world. This is the thing that you use to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the purpose of your life. All you have to do is ask for the opportunity to start.

Now go out and shake this world up!

Live your Life on Purpose.

26Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”d

Corinthians 1:26-31
