Understanding your Purpose

[UNDERSTANDING PURPOSE IN ALL CREATION]

There is a purpose for everything. Everything God created was made with intentionality and a divine goal. The ultimate purpose of any person is not something they invent for themselves, but rather what God has ordained for them.

Just look at the precision in nature. The finetuning of the universe is breathtaking. This isn’t by chance—it’s because God created everything specifically and uniquely to fulfill a purpose.

Take Earth, for example: it’s the only known planet in the universe that supports life. Why? Because it contains two essential elements that life depends on— oxygen and water.

Four-fifths (4/5) of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Remarkably, 90% of the oxygen-producing microscopic plants—phytoplankton—are found in the oceans. If the oceans were any smaller, there wouldn’t be enough oxygen to sustain life.

The Earth’s distance from the sun is incredibly precise— approximately 149.6 million kilometers. If the Earth were to move just 5% closer to the sun, the heat would be so intense that all life would perish. If it moved 5% farther away, the cold would be equally devastating, making life impossible.

The Earth rotates on its axis at about 1,000 miles per hour and orbits the sun at a speed of 67,000 miles per hour (about 19 miles per second). The sun, along with its entire solar system, is also in motion—traveling at 600,000 miles per hour around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This orbit is so vast, it takes 220 million years to complete just one revolution.

Any slight deviation in this finely tuned system could destroy all life on Earth.

Interestingly, while we often say a day is 24 hours, a true rotation of the Earth on its axis—what astronomers call a sidereal day—actually takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. That means a day is about 4 minutes shorter than we commonly think.

Similarly, a year on Earth is not exactly 365 days as many assume—it is actually 365.2564 days. This extra 0.2564 days is the reason we have leap years every four years to keep our calendars in sync with Earth’s orbit.

Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system, with a radius of 3,959 miles. Nearly 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by oceans of liquid water, with an average depth of about 2.5 miles.,,,

[CONCLUSION]

There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless, the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. Proverbs 19:21

Man is God’s most prized creation according to the Bible. If everything in the universe is intentionally placed and serves a purpose, then how much more does God have a unique and intentional purpose for creating you! You are special and deeply loved.

I believe there is a precise reason why you were born into your specific family and even your country—whether or not you understand it or like it. Until you gain insight into the purpose of your life, many things around you may not make sense. But as you begin to discover God’s purpose for your life, everything starts to fall into place. While some aspects of your life have been shaped by your choices, if you choose to embrace His purpose, even your past mistakes can be turned around for your good....

FOREWORD

God, indeed has an eternal purpose for creating man; and therefore has a purpose for every man. When the believer, thus, understands his purpose in the earth he functions quite right. On the contrary, it is a failure, futility and a waste of time here on earth.

Knowing what God has designed for each believer gives one a good “forward match” for this life. Again, knowing God’s purpose for one’s life in itself gives energy for this forward match. This knowledge gives hope and assures one of the future; an assurance which nothing else can eclipse. This book will open the believer’s eyes to understand his/ her existence in the world today, as well as give him/her the impetus and/or excitement to do much for the Lord. There will be 

those that have not yet found God’s purpose in this life. There will also be those that are close to  knowing God's purpose

 As they read this book (booklet) they will come to the knowledge of this purpose and  cling to it for life.  God, also will help 

strengthen them to faithfully run their race to the end.  cling to it for life. God, also will help strengthen them to faithfully 

run their race to the end.
