God has given you a purpose

“For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Eph. 2:10 NIV)

We need to be aware of what God has already provided so we don’t repeatedly ask Him for what He has already given. Over the last few days and continuing over the next few, I’m sharing some of them with you. Here is another one.

Purpose

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” (Phil. 2:13 NLT)

Called according to His purpose

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Rom. 8:28 NASB)

Purpose and grace

“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace" (2 Tim. 1:9).

The Lord’s purpose prevails

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails" (Prov. 19:21)

God works in you to fulfill His good purpose 

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose" (Phil. 2:13)
