Called for a Purpose: Daily Devotions to Help You Pursue God's Plan QUOTES

1 " If you are a Christian, you do not need to try to discover your purpose. Rather, it is in experiencing God that your purpose will be made known. Experience God, and you will experience your purpose. Know God, and you will know your destiny. "

― Tony Evans , Called for a Purpose: Daily Devotions to Help You Pursue God's Plan

2 " When God creates a life, He has an intention for that life. When He created you, He did so with intention. God doesn’t make mistakes. He is sovereign over everything, including the creation of life. This means that nothing comes to you that does not pass through God’s fingers first—including your very existence. When God created you, He sovereignly chose where you would be born, who you would be, and what His purpose for your life would be. That does not mean that everyone always achieves God’s destiny for their lives. Many do not seek Him, trust Him, or pursue His purpose in their lives. But God created everyone with a destiny that would blow their minds if they only knew what God wanted them to do. Unfortunately, people often get hung up on things that appear to make no sense. They get stuck trying to figure out why bad things happen to good people. They fall into a rut of doubt or self-pity because they have lost sight of their destiny. Without a strong faith in God’s sovereignty, we can easily get sidelined and distracted from what God has put us here to do. Keep in mind that believing in God’s sovereignty does not mean you believe He causes everything in your life. Rather, it means that God either causes or allows everything in your life. And if He allows it, He can use it. Trusting in His sovereignty means trusting that He can cause everything to work for your good—even the confusing and hurtful things—if you choose to love Him and respond to Him in the calling of your destiny. You are not a mistake. You were made on purpose for a purpose. Embrace that truth and start living in light of it. "

3 " But if you will keep your eyes focused on God’s purpose for you, not your pain, God will use your trials for your good and His glory. He works all things together for good when you love Him and live according to your calling. No pain or experience is wasted when you are a child of the King. "
