Life’s Important Questions – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional August 21st

(The “What,” “How,” And “Why” Of Life)

TO THE BIBLE Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMPC
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.”

LET’S TALK
There are three important questions in life: “What?” “How?” and “Why?” To know “what” is to begin to live; to know “how” is to begin to succeed; and to know “why” is to begin to reign because that’s when you’re fulfilling your purpose.

Whether you’re asking these questions about your personal life, growth, academics, finances, family, or ministry, these three questions will guide you.

However, the most important of them is “Why?” It’s the age-old question that humanity has grappled with through generations.

Why were you born? Why are you here on this earth at this time? Why do you do what you do? Your “Why” is your purpose, your reason for being.

Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. It refers to intent, design, and the reason for a cause or action; it also alludes to the relevance or usefulness of a thing.

So, have you discovered your purpose? Do you know why you’re in this world? What are the intents, designs, or reasons for your actions and the things you do? Why were you recreated in Christ? The Word of God gives clear answers and insights into your purpose on earth.

For example, 1 Peter 2:9 AMPC says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

You were created to bring God glory—to show forth His praise, to set forth His wonderful deeds, and to display His virtues and perfections on earth.

Thus, your life should be about living for Him, pleasing Him, and fulfilling the purpose for which you were born again. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I’m filled with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, and your purpose for my life is established in my heart. My purpose is to please you in all things, doing the good works which you’ve prearranged ahead of time. I live to fulfil my destiny in Christ and bring you glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
