Day 5

Bible verse: Philippians 4:6-7 – Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? What you should be doing with your life? Why isn’t God opening or closing doors in your life? When I read Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life the main thing that stood out is our purpose in life is quite simple: Love God and Love others. No matter what we have going on in our life, what our dreams are, and what our long term plans are, our purpose in life is to Love God and Love Others. I am a major planner and like to know what’s for supper and where we are going on vacation next year. I also pray constantly for God to open and close doors in my life to lead me where I should be serving God. In most cases, I should be exactly where I am… loving God and loving others.
