YOU MUST UNDERSTAND WHY YOU’RE HERE – Monday, 11th August 2025

Text for Today: Is. 43:1-21 “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory,” (vs. 7).

A good understanding of knowing why God is still keeping you alive will go a long way in shaping the way you live your life. When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse and destruction will become inevitable. Only men and women who know the reason why they are here live lives of impact and exploits. As a child of God, you cannot afford to live your life outside the reason why you were created. According to the Bible, our purpose, the reason we are here, is for God’s glory. In other words, our purpose is to praise God, worship him, to proclaim his greatness, and to accomplish His will. This is what glorifies Him. We were created by him, according to his desire, and our lives are to be lived for him so that we might accomplish what he has for us to do.

How the particulars of that purpose are expressed is up to the individual. What if our lives are difficult and things go wrong? Are our failures and hardships for the glory of God, too? Yes, they are. We often thank God and praise His name when things go well, but we often turn our backs on him and complain when things are difficult. Sometimes our appreciation and trust in God become conditioned on how well things are going for us. Ultimately, this is self-centered immaturity. Even though things can go wrong in our lives, the ultimate reason we are here is to glorify God. We do this by praising him and trusting him through difficult times. If the ultimate goal in life is to bring glory to God, then we can do that by being the best at what we do in the various callings of life.

You are a Champion!
