Matthew
6: 14 –24
Everyone’s life is driven by something. Most dictionaries define the verb
“drive’s” as to guide, to control, or to direct. Whether you are driving a
car, a nail, or a golf ball, you are guiding, controlling, and directing it at that
moment. What is the driving force in your life ?
Point to Ponder: Living on purpose is the path to peace.
Question
to Consider: What would my family and friends say is the driving force of my life ?
What do I want it to be ?
Many people are driven by guilt, resentment and anger, fear, materialism, or the
expectations of other.
Nothing matters more than knowing
God’s purpose for your life.
There
are five great benefits of living a purpose driven life:
©
Knowing
your purpose gives your life meaning.
© Knowing your purpose
simplifies your life.
© Knowing your purpose
focuses your life.
© Knowing your purpose
motivates your life.
© Fulfilling your purpose will
create an eternal legacy.
Everyone wants to be remembered when they’re gone. Ultimately,
what matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says about you.
How
will you answer God when he ask, “ What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ ?”
“and What did you do with what I gave you ?”
(Rom 14:10 NIV) You,
then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will
all stand before God's judgment seat.
(Rom 14:11 NIV) It is written:
"'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue
will confess to God.'"
(Rom
14:12
NIV) So then, each of us will give an account
of himself to God.
