Psalm 139:14-16 MSG

I thank you, High God-you’re breathtaking!  Body and soul, I am marvelously made!  I worship in adoration-what a creation!  You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; you know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth, all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.

How are you using your gifts and talents?

Decision

You may have yet to discover your distinct and unique purpose, but we know from Scripture that God tells us He has designed us all for an extraordinary reason that only we can fulfill.

There are so many ways to serve the Lord, and there isn’t a right or wrong way to do so.  Depending on your personality, you may find it exciting to be up front and center of a specific ministry, or you might find it more comfortable to work behind the scenes. The Lord has called each of us to do something specific for His kingdom and no matter what role we take, it will be important because we are working to glorify the King!  In 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 we learn that when God fills up our spirits that He makes us competent in Him.  How wonderful is that!

If you’ve already discovered your passion and special gift, what are you doing to pursue it?  Or is there something holding you back from surrendering your life and your heart to that gift?  Maybe you have a fear of failing? Friend, please remember that He never promised us that following His plan for our lives would be easy, but He did promise we would experience the fullness of His presence and purposes!

As you continue on your journey of discovering your passion and purpose, keep glorifying God at the forefront.  You may not have discovered God’s calling for your life yet, but rest assured that He has one for you!  Set priorities in your life that will help you reach your ultimate goals.  Pray continuously for God’s guidance in your life.  Share your passion with others with the hopes of growing of God’s kingdom.  Read and study His Word.  Allowing God to speak to you through His own words can be a great blessing in your pursuit of purpose.

Surrender

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to discover your ultimate plan for my life.  I know that you have designed me in your image and you want to see me grow your kingdom.  Before I was even born, you had a plan laid out for my life.   Please open my heart to that plan.  Father, help me to not put earthly passions and goals above you.  When I fear the future, help me to put my full trust in you and continue to pursue the passions you’ve laid out for me.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Reflection

What gifts has God given you?  How have you pursued God’s calling in your life?
