God's purpose Or Ours?

There have been times in my life when I have wondered what God's plan and purpose for my life was. I know, I'm not alone when it comes to this. As you read this blog, you might see yourself in the same boat. Many of us are attempting to walk His path in our own strength by working hard and carrying the burdens which are rightfully His. This is not our call! We must love Him with all our heart and serve Him with all our strength. But we must do so through joyful surrender, daily submission and obedience. He will accomplish His work in His time and according to His purpose.

There is a tendency to think that if Jesus compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great SUCCESS. We should NEVER the thought that our dreams of success are God's purpose for us. In fact, His purpose might be the exact opposite. We tend to have this notion that God is leading us towards a particular end or desired goal, but HE IS NOT! The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance, and reaching it becomes merely an episode along the way. WHAT WE SEE AS ONLY THE PROCESS OF REACHING A PARTICULAR END, GOD SEE AS A GOAL ITSELF.

What is mine and your vision of God's purpose for our lives? Whatever it maybe, His purpose id for us to depend on Him and on His power now. If we can stay clam, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil and storms of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in us. God is not working towards a particular finish-HIS PURPOSE IS THE PROCESS ITSELF. WHAT HE DESIRES OF US IS TO SEE "Him walking of the sea" with NO SHORE, NO SUCCESS, NOR GOAL IN SIGHT, BUT SIMPLY HAVING THE ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT because we see "Him walking on the sea" (Mark 6:49). IT IS THE PROCESS, NOT THE OUTCOME THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.

God's training is for NOW and NOT later. His purpose is for this very minute, NOT for sometime in the future. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WILL FOLLOW OUR OBEDIENCE, AND WE ARE WRONG TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH IT. WHAT PEOPLE CALL PREPARATION, GOD SEES AS THE GOAL ITSELF!

God's purpose is to to ENABLE US to see that HE can walk on the STORMS IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW! If we have further goal in our mind, we are not paying enough attention to the present time. HOWEVER, IF WE REALIZE THAT MOMENT-BY-MOMENT OBEDIENCE THE GOAL, then each moment as it it comes is PRECIOUS!!Let’s continue to reflect more and more of His glory. Let’s draw closer into His presence and make every effort to enter His REST and come to a place of complete SURRENDER!
"My Utmost For His Highest"
THIS IS OUR GOD!!

Have a blessed day!!
