Discovering Our Purpose: The Key to Desiring God's Will

Verse: Exodus 36:2

"Moses then summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled craftsmen to whom the Lord had given ability and who were willing to come and do the work." - Exodus 36:2

As we read Exodus 36, we see that Bezalel, Oholiab, and other skilled craftsmen had two essential qualities: God-given ability and a willing heart. What sparked their desire to serve God? It lies in understanding our fundamental purpose.

God created us to live according to His will and purpose. We are God's handiwork, created to do good works. Our existence revolves around fulfilling God's plan, which is the foundation of our identity.

When we grasp this purpose, our perspective shifts. We recognize our life's meaning and understand our role in God's plan. We begin to desire what God desires and align our will with His.

Understanding our purpose has profound effects. It ignites desire, aligns priorities, and brings fulfillment. A steadfast heart beats with a singular focus - to be in God's will.

In Psalm 57:7, David says, "My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast." Knowing our purpose is the key to desiring God's will. This realization transforms our relationship with God.

God's purpose for us is not about duty, but delight. It's not about uncertainty, but confidence. It's not about self-centeredness, but God-centeredness.

God created you to be in His will. May this understanding guide and inspire you.

Prayer:

Lord, reveal to us our purpose - to be in Your will. Ignite within us a desire to align ourselves with Your divine plan. May our hearts beat steadfastly for You, and may we find fulfillment in fulfilling our intended purpose. Amen.
