From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth.
He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall,
and he determined their boundaries.
His purpose was for the nations to seek after God
and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—
though he is not far from any one of us.
Acts 17:26-27 NLT
***
“God’s purpose is to restore His people to their true nature –
the image they were created in.
The purpose of Christ’s coming was to redeem mankind,
to bring back the image of God that was lost in the garden of Eden.”
Prasanth Jonathan
***
And we know that God causes everything to work together
for the good of those who love God
and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28 NLT
***
God has put us on this earth for a purpose.
And he has put all of us where we are for such a time as this.
You can find that purpose and dedicate your life to the glory of God,
or you can ignore it and chase after the empty promises of this world.
It’s really your choice.
Greg Laurie
***
Then if my people who are called by my name
will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT
***
There is unusual power in united prayer.
God has planned for His people to join together in prayer,
not only for Christian fellowship, spiritual nurture, and growth,
but also for accomplishing His divine purposes
and reaching His chosen goals.
Wesley L Duewel

Father,
we pray that You would remind us that that we are
all a part of building and expanding Your Kingdom.
We ask that You give us a fresh vision for Your purpose for our lives.
We ask that You open our eyes, our ears, our hearts,
and our minds to Your vision so that we can live out our purpose for Your glory.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
