LIVE ON PURPOSE, FOR A PURPOSE
"Be very careful, then, how you live... making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV
If you make wise decisions now, you'll have a better future. If you waste your time now, you'll have regrets. That's why you need to do the right thing when you have the opportunity to do it. Paul wrote: "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us" (Ephesians 3:20 NKJV). God is able to do great things as His power works through you. So it's not just about God doing things for you; He also wants to do things through you. Stop wishing your life would change, and start taking action! Pray and study God's Word. And as He speaks to your heart, step out in faith and do what He leads you to do. God created you to live on purpose, for a purpose! He hasn't just called you to be busy— He's also called you to bear good fruit (see John 15:16 NKJV). Its easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. But you need to take time out to think about how you're spending your time! Before you go to sleep, reflect on the things that filled your day: which of them fulfilled God's plan and purpose and which of them were a distraction? Ask God to reveal the things that need to change and ways you can make better choices that line up with His wisdom. Then lean on Him for the strength you need to make those changes. If you do, you'll be fulfilled, peaceful, and excited about how God is working in your life.
