Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture, Intended Purpose, from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word. If you want to leave comments or feedback, you can email jp0870584@gmail.com. For me to live according to today’s promise, I need to make sure I do my part to preserve what God created. Humanity is included in God’s gift because we were given authority over His creation and to care of it. God bless you.
The scripture is from Genesis 1:30: “’To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;’ and it was so.’”
The devotion is titled Intended Purpose by Darla Noble. Darla starts this lesson off by talking about the pesky flies and mosquitos. How we thought why God created them and how we could do without them. God created everything for a purpose. He created us for a specific and unique purpose. God created everything needed to sustain each and every living element of His creation and make the planet a robust, thriving ecosystem. God continues to bless us too. He has done even more for us. Everything He created lives according to His purpose.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: What are some things God provided for you yesterday, today, and tomorrow?
Here is my response, yours may be different: For me, God has put air in my lungs, food to eat, beautiful things to look at, and pets to love and love us.
A Personal Prayer for us: Dear Lord, thank You for being a God of provision. You wrap us in Your arms with tender loving care. Please help us to live a life that expresses our thanks for what You do. Help us to fulfill Your purpose for our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
