What is driving your life these days? Career? Money? Things? People?
Do you have too many irons in the fire these days? How can we change our lives?
How can we affect life changes that last?
There are three levels of living one's life.
Survival - Day-to-Day living, which is living hand to mouth.
.............................Most of the world is living life at this level.
Success - By world standards. These people have some conveniences,
...................some money in their pockets, shelter, and transportation.
...................They are able to plan for the future by putting away a bit for tomorrow.
Purpose - Only a small percentage of people live their lives with purpose.
Do you ever ask yourself, what on earth am I here for? Everyone on earth has a purpose.
God has invested talents and abilities in each and every one of us. We all have God-given gifts.
Most people have not bothered to discover what they are. One day God will call for
an accounting of His investment.
The benefits of living a purpose-driven life
If you live a life with purpose, it will:
Reduce your frustrations.
"The double-minded man can never keep a straight course" James 1:8
"I've labored for no purpose. I've spend my strength in vain and for nothing." Isaiah 49:4
God grants perfect peace to those who have a purpose-directed life.
Increase your enthusiasm.
"My life drags by, day after hopeless day... I'm tired of living... my life makes no sense." Job 7:6,17
"The plans I have for you,' says the Lord, 'are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
When you are in your niche, you are energized and enthused!
Allow you to concentrate on what's important.
"Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
.....Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path...
.....Don't get sidetracked." Proverbs 4:25-26
"I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing; forgetting what is behind
.....and looking forward to what lies ahead." Philippians 3:13
Attract cooperation.
"If your goals are good, you will be respected." Proverbs 11:27
"Tell us how to proceed in setting things straight, and we will fully cooperate." Ezra 10:4
It will prepare me for God's evaluation.
"We will all stand before God's judgment seat.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God." Romans 14:10,12
