Finding Your Purpose in Life (Daily Devo 01/21)

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”


Finding your purpose in life is one of the deepest longings of our human heart. We search for meaning in careers, relationships, hobbies, and achievements, hoping these things will fulfill us. But true purpose isn’t found in what we do but through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I thought having all the money in the world would make me happy. It didn't.
God created you with a purpose, and that purpose is to glorify Him and share His love with others. When we make the gospel the center of our lives, everything else falls into place. Our happiness, fulfillment, and identity are rooted in the truth that Jesus has made us righteous, holy, and sanctified. 

Your purpose is not about what you do, it's about who you glorify.

The gospel reminds us that Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and reconciled us to God. This truth doesn’t just save us temporarily, it gives us eternal meaning in life. Whatever your specific career may be, it always leads back to preaching the gospel and freeing souls.

Your purpose is using every part of your life as a way to glorify God and point others to the gospel. True purpose is living every moment for the One who gave you eternal life. Some people think following God’s plan makes life harder, but that’s a misunderstanding.

God’s plans aren’t burdens, they're blessings.

He knows what’s best for us and wants us to live with joy and peace.Preaching the gospel is a part of that joy. When we share the good news of Jesus with others, we see lives transformed, hearts healed, and chains broken. That freedom pours into our own hearts, reminding us of the beauty of the salvation we’ve received. One of the greatest truths of the gospel is that Jesus has already made us righteous, holy, and sanctified. We don’t have to earn our purpose or prove our worth anymore.

You don’t need to search for purpose when you’re standing on the foundation of the gospel. I hope we can all focus on the gospel that saves our souls and brings true happiness. Amen!
