Galatians 6:9 (NIV®)
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Most organizations have developed an overarching statement of purpose that serves as a foundation for their work. At World Outreach Church, our mission statement is “Helping people become more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.” No matter the time, place, format, or age group, we plan every event and activity to support that goal. Many people also have a “life verse,” such as Galatians 6:9, which undergirds their life goals and personal ministry endeavors. If you do not have a personal mission statement or a life verse, I encourage you to begin thinking about those things—and think big! Think beyond today, this month, and this year. Think beyond your current physical and financial abilities. Think about your spiritual legacy. We have one brief window to make a difference for the Kingdom of God, so ask the Holy Spirit to show you a purpose that will transcend your days on the earth.
THINK ABOUT IT
If you already have a personal mission statement or life verse, are your daily activities supporting those goals and beliefs? If you don’t have those declarations of faith, why don’t you begin praying about them right now?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, forgive me for when my goals were not informed by You and Your purposes. I repent and ask You to reveal Your purpose for my life. Give me the wisdom to pursue goals and dreams that will lead to Your best plans for me. May my life honor and glorify You in such a way that You will be able to consider me a “good and faithful servant.” In Jesus’ name, amen.
