A SAINTLY PURPOSE
PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14
“...I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14
On a certain occasion, Dr. R. L. Wharton, entirely by heart,
discussed the theme: What shall I do
with my life?
The dedicated man of
God spoke of the need to have a purpose in life, and to choose the best
purpose. I’ve heard a lot of talk about
the need to have a good purpose. The criminal had the purpose in mind to
assault his victim, to strip him of his money and to silence him forever. It
would have been better for him to have no purpose at all. There are evil,
crazy, absurd and foolish purposes. There should be a good purpose in life.
Otherwise, it would be anything other than life. What is the main purpose of your
life? Peter said: “One thing I do.” What
was Paul’s purpose? What purpose did
Jesus have? What about John, Peter, Isaiah? May God help you to discover your saintly
purpose in life, may you be able to sustain it, love it, defend it, live it and
move forward with it. A life which is oriented and determined by a saintly
purpose is a happy, stable and secure life.
Prayer: Lord, allow us, through
your Holy Spirit, to understand your holy will. Amen.
UN
PROPÓSITO SANTO
FILIPENSES 3:13-14
“...prosigo a la meta, al premio del
supremo
llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús”
Filipenses 3:14
En cierta ocasión el Dr. R. L. Wharton, de grata
memoria, trató el tema: ¿Qué haré con mi vida?
El
consagrado hombre de Dios habló de la necesidad de tener un propósito en la
vida, y de escoger el mejor propósito. Yo he oído hablar mucho de que es
necesario tener un buen propósito. El criminal tuvo un propósito en mente al
asaltar a su víctima, despojarla de su dinero y silenciarla para siempre. Era
mejor que no hubiera tenido ningún propósito. Hay propósitos malos,
descabellados, absurdos y tontos. Debe haber un propósito bueno en la vida. De
otra manera, será cualquier cosa menos vida. ¿Cuál es el propósito fundamental
de tu vida? Pedro decía: “Una cosa hago”
¿Cuál era el propósito de Pablo? ¿Cuál el de Jesús? ¿Cuál el de
Juan, Pedro, Isaías? Dios te ayude a descubrir tu santo propósito en la vida,
que puedas sostenerlo, amarlo, defenderlo, vivirlo y llevarlo hacia adelante.
La vida orientada y determinada por un propósito santo es una vida feliz, estable y segura.
Oración: Señor,
permite que a través de tu Santo Espíritu
podamos comprender tu santa voluntad. Amén.
