Prayer and Purpose

It seems as if time has speeded up all around us. Nothing we once counted on is a sure thing anymore. The economy seems to be in great turmoil, people without jobs, medical insurance and losing their homes and life savings. What is happening? Americans have been lulled to sleep over a period of time. We have allowed ourselves to depend on salaries, jobs, living with the best, finest and most extravagant of everything. Where is God in all this mess? He’s been right here all the time, waiting for people to reach out to Him.

Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at such an accelerated rate that even Bible scholars find it next to impossible to keep up with the every day details. Every word in the prophecies, will come to pass just as God said they would. The times we are living in are the most exciting of all to be alive and the Lord can only be a few years or even months away.

More and more I hear Christians saying the Lord is dealing with them about their purpose and moving on in what He has called them to do. Some still say they aren’t sure what that purpose is and question the Lord as to why they don’t know. Purpose takes prayer. We have to develop a relationship with the Father and spend time with Him in order to know what He is calling to do on an everyday basis. He doesn’t always give us years down the road either. Sometimes, it’s only a day or two at a time. If we are obedient in that, He will give us more and more until His plan and purpose for us stretches further ahead. Proverbs 3: 5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own. Understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” We must lean on the Lord’s wisdom and if we’re waiting on something else to give us direction or purpose then is when we become frustrated. It’s only when you are being directed by the Lord that your life will become exciting. Your purpose is unique………..Ask Him……..Seek Him…..He is so waiting to tell you
