It is one of my goals this year as I study and go after discipleship, I want to become more intentional. It means I need to look on purpose at the commitments I have made and the covenants that God has made to those before me, but are still in effect for me. I heard a great message last week on multi-generational thinking. There are promises that have been made by God that did not change when the torch was passed to my generation and they will be intact for the next.
Rick Warren says: “The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It is greater than your family, your career or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose.”
Be careful of always longing for the spectacular. God likes to use every day stuff.
Remember that destiny type activities may not always be spectacular. Another important connecting thought here is that we need to be able to identify destiny defining events that occur in those everyday events. Some people become "super-spiritual" and walk in the clouds trying to define the significance of everything around them. It seems to me that God has designed us to operate at ground level in the world while maintaining an awareness of God's activity. It is a balance that is worth striving for.
