YOUR PURPOSE IN YOUR GENERATION
Acts 13:36 "Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. (NIV)
Everyone has a purpose to serve in their generation. You are on earth for a God-ordained purpose. The Bible tells us that David served his purpose in his own generation. Everyone should.
David was king over Israel until he died but that was his position not his purpose. There is a difference between a position in life and purpose in life. David's purpose in his generation was to shepherd and lead people to serve God. Psalms 78:70-72 He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance. And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
Just like David and everyone else you have a purpose to serve in your generation. Don't mistake your position in life for purpose in life, many people do. If you were a President of a nation it is not a purpose but a position. Being a banker, lecturer, Pastor, General overseer, governor is a position. It is serving your purpose in that position that makes the difference. Your purpose in your generation is to reveal God and lead people to follow Him. This has been God's purpose for everyone in every generation. This purpose has been the same from the beginning and it will not change.
No matter your position in life it cannot replace your purpose. No matter your success with your position in life it cannot be substituted as success of purpose. Your purpose in life is to reveal God in your generation and lead your generation after God. Do this with your position!
PRAYER
Precious Father I am grateful that you sent me into this world at a time as this. I serve my purpose in my own generation; revealing You and leading people to know and follow You, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
