Your name, O’Lord, endures forever, your fame O’Lord, is known to every generation. For the Lord will give justice to his people and compassion on his servants.” Psalm 135:13-14
Have you ever wondered or asked God just why you were put upon this earth? The purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. The fellowship between you and the Lord is meant to be holy and one that cannot be separated. However, when sin entered this world things changed for the worse. Our minds and thoughts changed, with our purpose for our lives being driven by the desire for wealth, glory for ourselves, self-centeredness, and with a self-created desire to control our lives without God. Evil changed the world and the purpose of each of us. Our God in heaven has gone to great lengths to change all of that. He gave to us the greatest gift he could give. He gave Jesus, his one and only Son, to be sacrificed for us, to be persecuted for us and to be sympathetic to us. He knows our hurts because he has been through them, he knows our struggles because he has experienced them, and he knows our hearts because he is God. In accepting God’s gift of Jesus Christ, we are accepting once again his purpose for us. We are accepting our duties to glorify and to love him. We are accepting our responsibilities to trust in him and to have faith in his realities for this world. As God’s plan continues to unfold, the devil continues to get crazier and more potent. He is the master of deceit, and we must be constantly on alert. We cannot let down or we will be deceived and be in jeopardy of losing our focus and our purpose. It is so important that you and I stay the course God has set us on. We must never waver in our love and thankfulness for our God in heaven. His purpose for you and me is to glorify Him and love Him without letting anything deter us. He loves us so much that he has gone to great lengths to save us from the terror of this world and the destination of those who do not believe! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
