WHY WERE YOU BORN? Part 2 You Dont Find Your Purpose - You Learn It! You dont find your God-given purpose anymore than you find mathematics or aerodynamics. To find means to come upon, often by accident. When it comes to mathematics or aerodynamics, you learn them! You do the same with your God- give purpose. You learn it! Here is the first crucial point to learning your God-given purpose: God hid His purpose for your life deep within the recesses of your heart. Proverbs 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. In order to draw His purpose out of your heart, you must be a man or woman of understanding. Ill show you how to become that man or that woman! Using the illustration of a man drawing water from a well, the Lord makes another crucial point. If you dont draw out your God-given purpose from deep within your heart, you will never learn it. He goes on to say. Proverbs 20:18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. Without proper counsel, you will not be able to learn your God- given purpose. During my senior year of high school, my guidance counselor was a nice lady. She was intelligent, had a college degree and had comprehensive training to assist students make life-altering career decisions. She said my test scores revealed that law school, electrical engineering or the Air Force was best for me. The problem with her professional assessment. As sincere as she was, she was not my designer or manufacturer. She had no idea what I was capable of because she was not the one who installed the gifts, talents and abilities within me. Gillis trip To ask any man or woman, including your parents, to tell you what your God-given purpose is, is like asking the Ford Motor Company, What is the purpose and capabilities of a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber? The folks at Ford have some sharp minds, but they cannot answer that question for one reason. They did not design or manufacture that aircraft. If you want to know your God-given purpose, you must go to your manufacturer, (See Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:7). When the Lord God created us, He gave each of us an operators manual. It is called the Bible - the Written Word of God. Our operators manual tells us which counselor to inquire of concerning this critical issue. Prayer: Open my eyes that I may see your purpose for my life in Jesus name.
