scripture

 

Psalm 57:2

I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfils his purpose for me.  

 

observation

 

What is the purpose of life? Ask God.

Why ask God? Because he directs our lives.

For what result? To fulfill HIS purposes for us.

 

thought

 

A missionary who served in Papua New Guinea named Brad Buser explained how we like lists. We like to make them and order all the items on the list in their significance. Christians should attempt to keep God at the top of the list. However, Christians are human too so God gets knocked down the list every now and then. He then commented that putting God at the top of our lists are not enough and is actually an insult to God. We must make God the list. Once God is the list, the other stuff begins to take care of itself by either by getting addressed or put to the wayside because it was actually a distraction. What would it take for you to make God your list?
