SUMMARY:Luke 13:24
DESCRIPTION:Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many\, I say unto you\, will seek to enter in\, and shall not be able. (KJV) \nWhat is your goal? \nFor many Christians\, the long-range purpose and ultimate goal is to get into heaven. What they do between the time they are saved and when they enter heaven varies. Some of them find purpose and some don’t. When you spend time\, in the presence of the Almighty\, you get His purpose for you. You will also understand the assignment He designed for you. During those precious moments\, you will realize the importance of how you live your life every day. Your daily choices are as important as fulfilling His call. Actually\, it is how you fulfill His call.  \nPsalm 16:11 Because of you\, I know the path of life\, as I taste the fullness of joy in your presence. At your right side I experience divine pleasures forevermore! (TPT) \nTime in the Lord’s presence will remind you not to only think about you; what you need to do; and what is best for you. You should also be concerned about others.  \nPhilippians 2:3-4 Be free from pride-filled opinions\, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts\, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. 4 Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. (TPT) \nSometimes it is tough to think about anyone else. It might be because you are\, or you have become\, consumed with living your life. It might be because you are doing what you believe would please God. You should want to do what pleases God. However\, the only way you can is to broaden your understanding of what “pleasing God” means. Read Romans 12:9-21. You will find pleasing God takes more than you thought.  \nColossians 1:10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character\, moral courage\, and personal integrity]\, to [fully] please Him in all things\, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith\, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]. (AMP) \nIt is God’s will for all to come to know Him (2 Peter 3:9). In your efforts to please God\, shouldn’t your goal be to touch lives with the love of God? Shouldn’t you want the power of redemption\, deliverance and all that Jesus offers to be the foundation of what you communicate with your life? Those\, who have been assigned to you\, should see your life and desire salvation and a closer walk with God.  \n1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also [especially] thank God continually for this\, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us\, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men\, but as it truly is\, the Word of God\, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]. (AMPC) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I can remember hearing the statement\, “It’s not the means\, it’s the end.” I repent for accepting that statement as a way to live. You have taught me\, the means to the end is important as the end\, often more so. I want to live my life as an example of You. I want anyone who interacts with me to see You. If they are not saved\, I pray they will desire salvation. If they are saved\, I pray they will want to develop a closer walk with You. I don’t want to be so focused on heaven that I miss the assignments that will make me productive for You on earth. I know You have placed in me the desire to show Your love. Thank You for broadening my understanding and showing me how to do that. My life is not about me; it never was and it never will be. How can I say I love You\, Whom I have not seen and not take the time to show love to my brother and sister who I see every day? With every person I meet; I must show Your love. Thank You for making my goal clear… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
