Matthew 28:18-20 NIV — Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Why am I here? Why was I born? What does God want me to do with my life? What direction should I go? How many of you have ever asked one of these questions? I imagine at some point we all have. Years ago I participated in a study on the book The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. While many of us would have liked it if the book had spelled out the right vocation for us it in fact helped to define our real purpose in life. If you haven’t read the book I highly recommend it.

This week we will explore God’s purpose for each of us. I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts as you read. May God give you a new resolve for His purpose for your life.

Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, open my eyes and ears to see and hear Your purpose for me. Guide my thoughts as I explore ways to fulfill Your purpose for my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
