Devotional: Women With
Purpose
Christian Women's Devotion on Knowing Your Purpose
We read here how
we all were, "...foreordained
(chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with
His
purpose, who works out everything in
agreement with
the counsel and design of His
[own] will." (V: 11 AMPC)
God had planned and
designed our lives before we
were even born.
He has given us a purpose, plan
and destiny
to fulfil. He has picked us out and
made us
His own. He has set us apart to carry out
His
will. We are women with purpose.
Have you
found what God's purpose is for you?
Do you
believe He has an awesome plan for your
life?
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMPC) says, "For I know
the thoughts and
plans that I have for you,
says the Lord, thoughts
and plans for welfare
and peace and not for evil,
to give you hope
in your final outcome."
God has a
wonderful plan for our lives to bring
about
good. We need to realize that plan. If
you don't yet
know what God has for you to do, ask Him to reveal
it to you. Ask Him for a
'vision' for your life. He will make known
His will and His purpose for your
life (V:
9). For each one of us is unique and has
a
unique plan that only we can fulfil. And we
are
well able to do it. God will equip us to
carry it
out as Hebrews 13:21 (AMPC) says,
"Strengthen (complete,
perfect) and make you
what you ought to be and
equip you with
everything good that you may carry
out His
will; [while He Himself] works in you
and
accomplishes that which is pleasing in
His sight,
through Jesus Christ (the
Messiah); to whom be the
glory forever and
ever (to the ages of the ages).
Amen (so be
it)."
Don't be afraid to rise up in what
God has laid upon
your heart to do. You will
not regret it. It will
give new meaning and
purpose for your life.

For those whom He
foreknew [of whom He was aware
and loved
beforehand]. He also destined from
the
beginning [foreordaining them] to be
moulded into
the image of His son [and share
inwardly His
likeness], that He might become
the firstborn among
many brethren. And those
whom He thus foreordained,
He also called;
and those whom He called, He also
justified
(acquitted, made righteous, putting them
into
right standing with Himself). And those
whom
He justified, He also glorified [raising
them to a
heavenly dignity and condition or
state of being]. - Romans 8:29-30 (AMPC).
What you've purposed
in my heart, Lord, give me strength to
do That I may carry out your work Bringing
glory unto you.
