Our Purpose For Living

From: Bryant Wright Ministries

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope."

Time keeps moving on. It never stops for anyone - no matter how important you are. "You are a vapor that appears briefly and then vanishes." (James 4:14) We just can't find enough of that stuff. The late Jim Croce sang about bottling time. While we can't do that, one thing's for sure - God wants us to be good stewards of our time, but we'll never be able to until we're clear about our purpose for living.

The starting point is knowing why we're here. Ask God to help you develop a life-purpose statement. It will take some time, but it's the best time you'll ever invest. Know why you're here.

Next, decide each day what's most important for you to do that day, and do it. By having a clear purpose and doing the most important thing each day, God can revolutionize your life and help you make the most of your time.
