The Purpose of God

Acts13:36

For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, but He whom God raised up did not see corruption.

What is life but the purpose of God worked in us in our own generation? What was true of David's life was also true of Jesus' life in that they both served the purpose of God. In David's life God's purpose included death and corruption, but Jesus' life included death and resurrection because Jesus' life provided forgiveness of sins, newness of life in resurrection power, and reconciliation with the Father for all who believe.

What a concept to grasp! My life is only and always to serve the purpose of God in my own generation. This is why it is of ultra importance that I constantly seek Him saturating myself in His Word and coming before Him in prayer. I want my heart, soul, and mind united to His so that my purpose for life and His purpose for my life are one in the same.

Father,

Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.

In His strength,

Amen
