Our Purpose

Good Morning, 

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

God created the heavens and the earth for His glory. A powerful storm brings honor and glory to God. Beautiful lakes and snow-covered mountains also bring praise and glory to God. All things were created uniquely to bring glory to God. There is no way any one thing can be all that God needs. God is infinite. To praise and honor God as He deserves requires so many different things. 

Revelation 4:11 “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

All things were created for God's pleasure, including man. God creates men and women of every personality and every physical type because each one uniquely honors and glorifies God.

Let me offer a few thoughts on that subject: 

1. You need never fret over being different. You were made for His glory.

2. You need not worry that you are single or do not have children; nor do you need to worry if you are not as smart or outgoing as another, or whether you have a handicap. None of these things limits you from pleasing God. God made you unique for His glory; just as unique as the differences between a giraffe or a rhinoceros and the stars and moon. 

3. As we see so often in creation, God is in no hurry. Take your time in training and seeking the Lord's direction. He has a plan, and He will reveal it in His own time. 

4. You need not know your lifetime plans at 18 or even 20 years of age. The most basic life goal should be found in Micah 6:8:  do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.  

5. Perhaps college or career training should include being more honoring to God rather than doing what "we want to do." 

That simple life goal will please God, and that is why we were created.
