"And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there
thou hast that is thine".(Matthew 25 vs 25). That is the Focal Scripture
of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
Today's Focal Scripture tells of the efforts made by the servant who
made no profit with his talent. This servant hid the talent in the
ground. He dug the ground, expended his energy,worked hard,and looked
genuinely busy;but his efforts were irrelevant to the master's
wishes,and he got no results. He used his ideas and forgot the master's
idea,and his movement didn't lead to progress. It was a case of activity
without productivity because he didn't stick with the PURPOSE why he
was given the talent.
Purpose is the compass that keeps your focus intact. Purpose knows the
instructions and sticks to it even when there are a million
alternatives. If you can't figure out the purpose of a thing; you will
certainly have no passion to do that rightly. Purpose gives you a
pursuit that challenges you but it also gives you a sense of meaning,joy
and passion. Purpose could also be a divine mandate designed to
accelerate your mortal journey into excellence and distinction.
Beloved, this servant with one talent lost his Purpose and he lost
everything. He abandoned the core purpose of his assignment and he ended
up without results. Every effort you make outside of God's plan and
purpose is likely to leave you empty handed.
Don't be counted among those who spent their lives chasing shadows
instead of substance. Don't fight like a purposeless boxer who only
beats the air. Work according to God's Word and purpose,and you shall
have results.
Stephen Mackenna cautions,"To have no Purpose in one's life is the harlotry of Will".
If Heaven gives you a Purpose to live for; earth will celebrate every minute you breathe!
Pray with me,"Lord, don't let me deviate from Divine Purpose; may my purposeful activities lead to results in Jesus name".
Have a Fabulous Friday!
