Top of the day to you friends, thank God it's Sunday. I did some reflection today and I will gladly share it with you.
Our existence on earth is transient, indeed like a flame we only exist for a limited time, at some point in time we burn out. No wonder it is said that life is a journey. Embarking on a journey implies that the soujourner must have a clear picture of his/her origin and a destination. Have you been confused about finding your paths in life? Or have you been moving round on the same spot without forging ahead? This article is a must read for you.
Everyday people all over the world rush out of their houses and the hustle and bustle begins. We all run Helter skelter looking for our daily bread. But how many of us has a purpose? How many of us know what our destiny is in order to navigate to our destination?
You can only run a race when you have a destination.
Remember it has been said that our existence in life is only for a limited time. So while we are here, we are like travellers. But have you noticed that most often people who know exactly were they are going tend to get there faster? Especially when they have found the way to their destination? The biggest challenge of humanity in our limited time on Earth is identifying two things:
- Purpose (destination);
- A way to achieve our purpose.
Let's quickly ruminate over the above two. Your Purpose on Earth is the reason for your existence on Earth. It is your destiny. without a doubt your destiny will lead you to your destination. The same way we all have different faces, We also have different purpose to accomplish. The purpose of Jesus is to safe humanity from the guilt and condemnation of sin. No wonder Jesus was taken away after accomplishing this feat at the age of 33, yet he is the most accomplished human that ever lived. What is your purpose in heart dear friend? Without a defined purpose you can't have a clear destination in view.
If you have identified your destiny or purpose in life then you must look for a way to achieve your purpose. What is a way then? Let's see it like this, a way is an opening for passage to a desired location. Identifying one's purpose in life is a wonderful thing, but not knowing the way to achieve such a purpose is another issue. This is just like the case of a traveler who has a fast car and everything necessary for a successful trip but no map or direction to get to the desired destination. This sulks right? But don't you think most of us are either still in this situation or have been in this situation in the past?
Being in a state of no direction in life can be very frustrating, but getting out of this frustration shouldn't be so difficult if we have the right keys. Imagine you've just bought this wonderful gadget and you don't seem to know your way around it? What will you do? I guess a smart person will look for the user manual written by the maker right ? Why then do we humans sometimes find it hard to consult our maker when our back is against the wall? In Jeremiah: 1. 5. God made it clear that even before we were born he already knows us, he knows our purpose, he knows the ways we can achieve our purpose etc "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."-
Isaiah 43:16 confirms to us clearly that God makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters. Isaiah: 43. 19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. I implore you to to consult the way Maker today by praying and meditating on his words. Have a blessed week ahead.
