The Purpose – Stay the Course

October 20, 2014

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” – Philippians 1:6

Frustration often abounds as we look forward with anticipation of what is to come.  There is often nothing but bad or disappointing news in the media.   Let’s face it, we spend way too much time listening to other’s talk about how hard things, rather than focusing on how we can make it better.  People like to complain, they like to tell of their difficulties and struggles rather than the goodness that happens every day.  It is common that people look for sympathy from others, rather than looking for areas where they can help others and be of service.  We move at such a fast pace in this life that we often times take for granted the hundreds of small wins each day.  In addition, we often lose sight of the purpose we are put here to accomplish and we lose sight of the greater good that we can provide in this world because we become overwhelmed with our smallness.

It’s important to remind yourself and those around you how big and how great our God is.  Don’t lose sight that you are working on His plan in this life and that you are called to serve Him right where you are.  It is often easy to miss the small accomplishments each day if you can’t get your eyes off of the negative around you.  God does not work on our timetable and although there are times we wish Jesus would come back today, He realizes there is still much work to do.  Paul reminds us in Philippians 1:6, that what God has started inside of us, will come to pass in due time.  He has not forsaken or forgotten us, and we need to be strong in staying the course, standing for His righteousness and glory, and spreading His love and message to those in need.  Do not allow the negativity of the world’s news influence the goodness of the Good News.  You are an overcomer through Christ Jesus and you are destined for an eternity with the King.  Stand for His principles, His truth and refuse the tolerance of unrighteousness perpetrated by society.  For on that day, when He comes again, you will be in His glory and serving His Kingdom.
