It’s really easy to get caught up in the worlds laser focus of
money-making, getting popular, and the strive for successful living. But
what if I told you God could care less about those things? In fact,
what if I told you that God isn’t focused on your “worldly success” at
all, that is unless it is being used for the glorification of Jesus.
What a relief…
Think about it:
When
it comes to the purpose of our being, do you think God is looking for
us to join in on what the world has created? Nope, not at all. God wants
us to be the difference in this world, and stand up for the purpose of
His name (Romans 12:2Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). The
last thing God wants is more people following the world’s shallow, dark,
and vulturous ways.
Here’s My Point:
We were made to be
more than puppets of the world. It’s time to start giving ourselves a
little credit. We are a children of The King, and we were made to live
for more than a paycheck and worldly acceptance. Don’t let the world
fool you into thinking your life was meant to be lived for “its glory”
rather than God’s.
Reflect: Jeremiah 1:5
Worldly success
will never compare to purposeful living. And until your heart can wrap
itself around this vital truth, your worth will never be fulfilled
because you are seeking to fill it from a place that doesn’t have what
you need. Way too many times have I seen men and women of all ages being
let down by the world, only to get back up and try again. It’s time to
break through the lies of the world, and seek purposeful living through
the one who it is founded upon.
Stop seeking worth in a world that cannot offer what you truly need. Only Jesus can offer that.
