We Each Have a Purpose

“For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;...” Acts 13:36

Today we will elect a new leader to serve our nation for the next four years. I personally believe it is a privilege and a duty to cast our vote according to the Lord’s leading but I also know that God already knows who our next leader is going to be and like David, our next president will serve only as long as God ordains. We must trust God with the future of our country as well as our world. What is more important than how I cast my vote is that God will strengthen me to do that which He has called me to do today so that I won’t waste precious time trying to figure out if I am capable of the work He’s given me to do. I pray that I would boldly and confidently follow Him today as I listen carefully for His voice and wait upon Him for guidance. Time is short but He has given us just enough time to accomplish the purpose for which He created us in our own generation.

Yesterday’s verse addressed our value as His creation. Today, I want to restate that He has a purpose for each and every one He creates; each and every one of us.
