If a man cleanses himself from the
latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful
to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
2Timothy 2:21
We may express an interest in serving God, even a willingness of heart,
yet out of our busyness, neglect to seek Him more. The most important
thing in our lives, is to seek God’s desire for our lives. Time is
precious and we will one day be held accountable for what we have
accomplished, with the gifts and talents we have been given. It’s a new
year and a time to re-commit ourselves, to spending more time absorbing
His word and building our relationship with Him; so that we may know and
understand more clearly, our purpose and begin fulfilling our destiny.
God is not in a hurry and knows the exact plan He desires to implement
within our lives. His timing and ways are perfect; if we are attempting
to squeeze in a moment here and there, we could quite possibly miss
opportunities to grow closer to fulfilling His will.
Prayer
Lord, remind me today to remain focused on my purpose. Fill my heart
with a hunger and longing to learn more of You. Forgive me for the time
I have wasted, seeking to fulfill my own desires instead of seeking Your
will. Bring me to the door of my destiny, and set my feet on the path
that You desire. I surrender my will to You. Amen.
