I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them]! Psalm 57:2 (AMPC) God planted a desire within you to live a life of purpose. Actually, He wants you to fulfill two types of purpose in your life. Today we’ll discuss the first one: your specific purpose, which involves your individual gifts and abilities. Holy Spirit leads you to do things in life, and you can trust Him. He won’t lead you to an area you’re going to hate or one where you’re destined to fail. For example, God won’t lead you to be a drummer if you have no rhythm or lead you to become a surgeon …
God-Planted Purpose
He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy]. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMPC) We all long for purpose. We want our lives to count for something, because God planted that desire in us. Because God planted this eternity-minded mission in us, it can only be fulfilled through Him. Although money and success are fine, they won’t fill this desire; neither will family or relationships. This deep sense of purpose isn’t even satisfied by giving your life to Jesus, although it is vital to follow Him. There are a lot of unhappy, purposeless Christians, which proves that just knowing Him doesn’t fulfill this need. We …
Propósito Plantado por Dios
Él, en el momento preciso, todo lo hizo hermoso; puso además en la mente humana la idea de lo infinito, aun cuando el hombre no alcanza a comprender en toda su amplitud lo que Dios ha hecho y lo que hará. Eclesiastés 3:11 (DHH) Todos anhelamos tener un propósito. Queremos que nuestras vidas cuenten para algo, porque Dios plantó ese deseo en nosotros. Debido a que Dios plantó esta misión de mentalidad eterna en nosotros, solo puede ser cumplida a través de Él. Aunque el dinero y el éxito están bien, no satisfarán este deseo; tampoco lo hará la familia o las relaciones. Este profundo sentido de propósito ni siquiera se satisface al dar su vida a Jesús, aunque es vital seguirlo. Hay muchos cristianos infelices y sin propósito, lo …
A Lack Of Purpose Is A Crisis
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Psalm 138:8 (ESV) A few years ago, I read a book written for people who are looking for significance at mid-life. These people are wondering if what they have done so far really matters, and are questioning what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Many people who hit this mid-life crisis stage of life do crazy things, believers included. Some ruin their marriages with an affair. Others quit their job and set out on a quest to find themselves. They feel lost when hit with the reality that their lives lack purpose. What is interesting is that younger generations are hitting this stage much more quickly. …
La Falta de Propósito es una Crisis
¡El Señor llevará a feliz término su acción en mi favor! Señor, tu amor es eterno; ¡no dejes incompleto lo que has emprendido! Salmos 138:8 (DHH) Hace unos años, leí un libro escrito para personas de la mediana edad que buscan significado. Estas personas se preguntan si lo que han hecho hasta ahora realmente importa, y se preguntan qué quieren hacer con el resto de sus vidas. Muchas personas que llegan a esta etapa de la “crisis de la mitad de la vida” hacen locuras, incluidos los creyentes. Algunos arruinan sus matrimonios con una aventura. Otros renuncian a su trabajo y emprenden una búsqueda para encontrarse a sí mismos. Se sienten perdidos cuando son golpeados con la realidad de que sus vidas carecen de propósito. Lo interesante es …
