Lifeline Today Wednesday September 2 From Problems to Purpose That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life - …..Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:25, 33 (NLT) The statement of Jesus above is principally to redirect our attention from problems of life to purpose. He is instructing us to stop running from problems; the things we don’t want in life to what He has made most important. That is, purpose. Stop running from your problems and start running to God’s purpose in your life. As you do, because God knows where you are, He can cause anybody in the world that must know to know. Because He knows your need, He can place that need on the heart of anybody He chooses to use. Because He knows your gift or talent, He can connect you with those who desperately need it. Most importantly, make the increase of His kingdom your primary and major pursuit. As you do, you become more acceptable in His sight and highly favoured in the sight of men. This is your day. Wisdom Fountain: “The struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.”. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I ask for the wisdom, strength, and grace to see past every present situation and circumstance. Reignite a passion for the purpose You have placed on my life. Remind me that my calling is greater than any temporary storm. Help me to press forward with endurance, serving You with a focused heart and walking boldly in the destiny You designed for me in Jesus’ name.
