Your Purpose!

October 24, 2022 Monday Message:

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT: “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’”

I’m reminded of Pastor Rick Warren’s best-selling Christian book, “The Purpose Driven Life.” God had a specific reason for creating you. It’s like the world is a giant jigsaw puzzle, and you’re the missing piece! Are you willing to ‘fit in,’ to fulfill your mission in God’s vast eternal plan?

Of course God gave us ‘free choice,’ so we can either live God’s way or find our own path. Here God is telling us in advance that his plans are good, and that God’s way will give us hope for a bright future.

God’s way is also easier, the path of least resistance. Ignoring God’s calling and choosing your own way leads to an uphill struggle, usually not worth it. The Lord’s way is the best way!

The Good Shepherd only wants the best for the sheep in his flock!
