God’s Purpose For You
What the Bible says about…purpose?
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
Daydreaming has been something that I have been guilty of. In fact, when I was a child in elementary school I had more than one report card sent home in which the teacher would mention my ‘daydreaming’ and how it sometimes got in the way of my paying attention, participating, and even completing an assignment. To this day I don’t know what started my habitual daydreaming, but I do know that it is something that I continue to do a lot of even as an adult.
Some experts say that we daydream to escape our reality and that these are mere fantasies. That could be true since often my daydreams consisted of a better place, time, and of course financial circumstances. In my daydreaming spells I’ve been rich, I’ve run multibillion dollar corporations, been a movie or music star, or I’ve daydreamed of being recognized for some talent that I could impart to the world. To my shame, I’ve even daydreamed that I was quite the ladies man and can laugh at that one until my head hurts nowadays.
Today I can admit that most of my daydreaming had been an attempt on my part of trying to identify my purpose in life. I’d sometimes wonder while lying in bed late at night just why I’m here and what did life really mean? Who was I here to help, what type of service would I need to provide that would make a difference in the world? What could I do to escape a feeling of emptiness and gain fulfillment out of life? On and on this sort of thinking would go and I’d eventually drift off to sleep.
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who does this? I’d like to believe that since we all are human, that we all experience these similar thought processes from time to time. This leads me to the last two verses of scripture in the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Through careful study of this book, you will notice that Solomon is writing about any and every thing that a human being could ever experience. Since Solomon was extremely rich, he could afford many different pleasures, some which are completely out of our reach. Also, being king of Israel there was no one around who could forbid him to do all that his heart desired.
He pondered education, wealth, family, business, ethics, and relationships. Not only did he ponder them, he lived them out in search of answers that mankind before and after him have searched for. The only difference between us and Solomon is that he had the means. Being king, he could speak about leading corporations. Having over 1,000 women, I’m sure he engaged many different personalities and so he was qualified to speak on human relations. Since God had given him wisdom that even the queen of Sheba traveled many miles to hear, he could speak on education and philosophy. Lastly, as king, the Bible records that he knew of entertainment as well since his court was surrounded with musicians and singers.
What was the verdict? After he’d experienced all of these things and sat down to write about them, what did he say mattered most? ‘Fear God and keep his commandments’. He wrote that this was the whole duty of man. Brothers and sisters, this is why we are here. This is why we live, breath, and have our being. It is to serve the true and living God. It’s not that God isn’t concerned with our lives; in fact He has promised to guide our paths when we acknowledge Him in all that we do. This is your purpose…this is my purpose.
Today we have something greater than Solomon (Matthew 12:42). My friend, if you are in Christ Jesus, you have everything that you will ever need in this life, as well as the one to come. Submit your life to Him and He will show you your purpose. Peace be unto you and your family.
