Understanding Your Divine Purpose
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
God’s promise is not that life will be easy but that the journey will be worth it. One of the best measures of your faith is how much you trust God when blessings don’t seem to be flowing. In these times, take your eyes off of your problems and focus on God. Life’s most valuable experiences are often found amidst the toughest times.
Lord, the weight of my problems dissolves in the light of Your grace and glory.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.—Matthew 6:28–29 (NIV)
