Great Are His Purposes!

“O great and powerful God, whose name is the Lord Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.” Jer. 32:18b-19a

God created His son for the purpose of saving the rest of the family – those of us who accept God as Father, Christ as Son and Savior, and the Holy Spirit as the indwelling Spirit of Christ. Just as God created Jesus with a purpose He created each of us with a specific purpose. As a child, Jesus recognized His spiritual Father and the importance of discerning His will and fulfilling His higher purpose. Through this daily pursuit Jesus discovered the purpose for His own life as God prepared in advance for Him to fulfill. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good words, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Eph. 2:10

What if Jesus had chosen His own agenda for His life? He was created with the same free will just as we were. What if Jesus had taken His eyes off of the prize for a moment and detoured from God’s will? God knew in advance the heart of His son and assigned this purpose with the wisdom that Jesus would be able to carry it through to fulfillment. God predetermines the same for each of us as He will not plan something for any of us to accomplish in which He doesn’t thoroughly equip us. If we are led to accomplish something in the name of God we must trust and believe that we have the tools necessary to be victorious.

Don’t miss your higher calling – someone’s life could depend on it!
