God’s
Purpose Fulfilled
“The
Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever- do
not abandon the works of Your hands.”
Ps. 138:8
This is a verse we can lean back upon –
resting and trusting that the Lord will fulfill His purpose for us. First, He has a purpose for each of us! This is a call to trust, to receive that
purpose, and to act upon it. If anyone
had told me 15 years ago I would be traveling the country speaking to women in
prison, I would have laughed. Yet that
has been God’s purpose for my life – at least some part of it. While I did not see it, God was fulfilling it
very slowly over time.
What is even more staggering is that
what I am doing here is in preparation for what I will be doing eternally. It helps me to understand the second half of
this prayer – do not abandon the works of Your hands. Don’t stop now, Lord. Please continue to teach and equip and
prepare me. Mold me and shape me for
Your purpose – Your eternal purpose.
He promises this and fulfills His promise
because He loves us. His love endures
forever. Let that last sentence sink in;
it is an entire sermon. God’s love
endures forever…forever. Receive His
promise and truth in your heart today.
