Are You Pursuing God's Purpose?
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:10
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a routine, going through the motions without really thinking about your purpose? It’s easy to get comfortable with the familiar and forget that God has a unique and significant purpose for each of our lives.
God didn’t create us to live mundane, routine lives. He crafted us with specific talents, passions, and missions in mind. Yet, many of us settle for what’s comfortable, missing out on the vibrant life He intends for us.
Ask yourself: Are you actively pursuing God’s purpose for your life, or are you simply coasting through each day? Reflect on your daily activities. Do they align with the good works God has prepared for you, or have you become too comfortable with the routine that you miss opportunities to make a difference?
Think about Moses. He was living a relatively quiet life as a shepherd when God called him from the burning bush. It would have been easy for Moses to stay in his comfort zone, but he chose to step out in faith, embracing God’s purpose for him. Despite his fears and doubts, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, fulfilling a destiny that was far greater than any routine life could offer.
Consider how you might be resisting God’s call due to fear of stepping out of your comfort zone. It might be easier to stick with what you know, but God is inviting you into something more—a life of purpose and impact.
Taking that first step towards God’s purpose may feel daunting but remember that you are not alone. God promises to equip and guide you. Just as He was with Moses, He will be with you, giving you the strength and wisdom you need.
Challenge yourself to seek God’s purpose with intention. Spend time in prayer, asking Him to reveal His plans for you. Be open to opportunities that stretch you and take you out of your comfort zone. Trust that God’s purpose for your life is filled with meaning and adventure, far beyond what you could imagine.
