Pursue Your Purpose

“With the rise of Alzheimer's disease many are looking for a solution to stop their declining mental ability. In a Wall Street Journal article, Dr. Patricia Boyle, a neuropsychologist and researcher, claims that their studies have discovered a way to slow cognitive decline by 30%!

The answer is to discover and pursue your purpose in life. People who are living out their purpose keep their mind more active and engaged.

Unfortunately, many people live decades after retirement with their sense of purpose becoming shelved.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

God has a plan and a purpose for each day. Don't waste decades of your life. Pursue your purpose daily.”

After reading this piece of advice from Rick Boxx, it got me thinking, could it be that the reason most people are so miserable is because they are not doing what they should be doing. Could it be? I know many people who are not happy at their jobs, at home and everywhere in between, could it be that they are doing some things all wrong. Well, maybe.

Thinking the kind of life that David in the bible led makes me think how different God is from me. David lived a life many of us would not be proud of in the end in our eyes. The amazing thing is what God says about him. God says that “David is a man after my heart” David had his hands soiled in blood to his shoulders, but he did as the Lord intended. In God’s eyes he served his generation faithfully. His fell many times but he knew where to go after falling, to the maker and helper of man….God. There he could be forgiven and given direction on where to go after that.

Are you doing what God intends for your life? Many may not understand what and why you do what you do, but your maker God knows why and when so trust Him and He will lead you in the way you should go.
