6 Steps to DestinySample

Day 3: Purpose

Purpose is the reason for which something exists. You can only discover your purpose once the previous two steps have been acknowledged and accomplished. Sadly, so many never truly realize and fulfill their purpose because they don't PUSH PAST the PAIN to reach the PURPOSE. There's usually a process to everything, which means sometimes we have to enter and endure, to birth, discover or redefine our purpose.

Joseph is an excellent example of pushing past pain to reach his purpose. After being cast down by his family, sold off to slavery, lied to and wrongfully sent to prison, then forgotten about after doing the works of God, he finally reached his predestined promise, which unlocked the door to his purpose. Because he understood Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways," he realized that the Devastation was the Transportation to his Destination.

There is a divine and predestined purpose in us all. So many search in all the wrong places but never find it. And so many find it but never fulfill it. We were not created just to live but to thrive and to use our lives to build the kingdom and glory of God. One will even admit that lacking purpose can leave you empty and hopeless even if you have acquired and accomplished every other good deed. So when one discovers, accepts, and fulfills their ordained purpose, it brings glory to God, adds value to the world, and gives great pleasure to the soul.
