There is a purpose

The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
- Psalm 138:8

There is a purpose for which you are where you are at this moment in history. You have something to contribute to making this world better. God has given you potential, and you must use it to bless the people around you and so that the name of the Lord may be exalted wherever you are.

Bring joy to those who are sad and a word of encouragement to those who are discouraged. These are very simple ways to bring the love of Christ to the people around you. You are here today, and God wants to use you for His glory, let Him guide you!

If you feel discouraged thinking that you have nothing to contribute, speak to the Father. Ask Him to guide you in His purpose for your life. Open your heart to His love and rest in Him. God will never abandon you, and He will guide you every step of the way. Trust your heavenly Father and do not forget that your life has a purpose.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10

Those Who Love God Must Obey

Obedience is one of the proofs of a child’s love for their parents. In the Bible, we see that God gave many commandments that we must obey not because God wants to control us, but because He wants us to have an abundant and blessed life. Those who obey receive blessings from the Lord!

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
- Luke 6:46

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today;
- Deuteronomy 11:26–27

There are many choices we must make every day: to tell the truth or lie about something, to help or ignore the needs of others, to speak well or badly about someone we know. Each choice gives us the opportunity to obey God and receive the blessing He wants to give us.

Choose to obey God out of love for Him. Remember all that He has already done for you, how He loves you, cares for you, and helps you. Decide to obey Him, even when it’s not the most popular choice. Pleasing God and living according to His will will fill your heart with joy and peace. His blessings will cover you as you walk the path He desires. Always choose to obey the Lord!

It is good to fear God

In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.
- Proverbs 16:6

To fear God is to recognize His greatness and His lordship over us. We serve the almighty God, worthy of our praise, our reverence, and our fear.

Generally, people see fear as something negative. However, fearing God is something positive. It is a reverent attitude that comes from the heart of everyone who recognizes that they need God as the King and Lord of their life.

As we see in the verse from Proverbs 16:6, whoever fears the Lord turns away from evil. This is good, because evil never brings good things into our lives. Therefore, having the fear of God keeps us from walking on paths that do not please Him.

However, when we walk in the paths that God desires, everything becomes more bearable. Walking in obedience to God brings blessing, inner peace, and even peace with other people.

When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- Proverbs 16:7

Be wise: walk every day within the will of God. Allow Him to direct your steps and acknowledge His greatness and His power. You will enjoy more inner peace and more peace in your relationships with others.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
- Psalm 111:10

Who is the man that fears the Lord?
Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
- Psalm 25:12

Serve God every day with reverent fear. Allow Him to guide your steps and always walk doing His will. You will enjoy well-being and peace in your life.
