There is a lot burning within me. Dreams burning inside my soul. Things that I don’t only feel are only my calling, but I’m compelled to do.
Purposes. If you will.
How can we each live our lives and face the end with purposes unfulfilled?
I just don’t want to do that.
Do you?
Today I encourage you to lean into His voice and if you don’t already know, ask Him to reveal His purposes for you.
I have been provoked. As I lean into motherhood and fully surrender to it’s calling upon my life. I feel instantaneously the other known purposes of my life pressing forth to bloom. The discomfort and anticipation felt in their pressing, is intense. Undeniable. Like a baby pressing forth in the birth canal.
It’s a birthing season for me and my family. Maybe you are also in one.
Even if you aren’t, one day you will be so it’s important to consider this in advance.
I have been provoked. To take my purposes seriously. To invest in them. To give heartily to them. Embrace them. Lean into them.
Devoting time each day to two specific purposes, beyond motherhood, that God has placed on my heart long-term. Writing and worship.
I simply have to do it.
You too have purposes. You too can simply begin to do something everyday toward that purpose. It’s such a small imposition upon life to give a moment, each day, to doing one or two practical things to advance that purpose.
God’s purposes for you are worthy of your attention.
Small deposits over time will equal great dividends in the future.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; He puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him. For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Psalm 33:6-11
