Seek to Know More of God August 21, 2023

“The main thing in this world is not being sure what God’s will is, but seeking it sincerely, and following what we do understand of it. The only possible answer to the destiny of men is to seek without respite to fulfill God’s purpose.” - Paul Tournier

It may sound somewhat old-fashioned or even clichéd to imagine that you may really strive to seek God’s will and purpose. At least, it sounds like “church-speak”.

It’s time to re-set your intention. As you get to know more of what God wants for you, you’ll be impressed by how big His plans really are and how wide His opportunities for you to succeed can stretch. He has a net that is so big, even you cannot fulfill all the things He would choose for you in a lifetime.

Your destiny is framed by choices and the ones you make with greater understanding of God’s will and purpose will be the ones that change the world. God loves you, but His mission for you is life changing and He’s anxious to help you define your purpose. Seek Him first.

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” - John 15:16 NKJV

Let us pray: Lord, we know that we often wonder about Your purpose for us, but we’re not always sure how to figure out if I’m on the right track. Help us to discover the truth of our lives through you. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
