Your purpose

As we move into the fall season and the resolutions of the summer become faded memories.(The plan to exercise more and complete all those special projects, etc.) So today while there is time let me suggest several things that can make a real difference in your life and impact those around you.
Commit to getting up 30 minutes earlier and reading at least 2 chapters a day in the bible starting in Matthew. Spend remainder of time in prayer asking God for wisdom to understand and apply the truth revealed throughout the day, ask God to work in the lives of those you know so that He may be able to bless them. If you have not yet asked God to forgive your sins and transform your life make that your first priority then let your goal each day to be used by God to impact at least one person for His glory. Each day let your purpose be to please God and bring honor to Him through Christ Jesus.
Compare everything to the Word of God and remember that if it is what we think rather than what God says it is but a shadow. Avoid taking personal offense when scripture is the bases for a position that is contrary to what we believe. Any idea we have that is not based on the Bible is like the wind, here for a while and then gone not to be seen or heard.
Remember it is not about us but about God who loved us so much He sent His son to die for our sins. His purpose for our life is for us to obey Him and be a channel of Blessing to those we interact with each day. Most will not accept you or biblical truth but be a lighthouse to those around you. Darkness is an absence of Light and some like to hide in the dark so light is not always welcome. Don't look to be a follower for those who walk in the night but walk in the light of God Himself and the rest of this year will become filled with light for your life.
May God grant you wisdom and boldness as you seek His purpose as you travel through this life in these latter times.
