Overflowing Grace: Devo 17

Day 17: Living with Purpose

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 NLT "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Observation and Reflection:
The Hebrew word for "plans" (machashabah) implies intentional design. God’s plans for you are purposeful and good, even when life feels uncertain. Reflect on how God’s purpose has been revealed in your life. Are you aligning your daily choices with His greater plan?

Think of a tapestry being woven—each thread may seem random, but the final design is purposeful and beautiful.

Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life has helped millions discover God’s plan for their lives, emphasizing that we are created for His purposes.

Application and Action: Write down your personal mission statement, aligning it with God’s purpose for your life. Reflect on this quote by Rick Warren: "You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense."

Prayer: Lord, thank You for having a plan for my life. Help me to walk in Your purpose and to trust Your timing. Teach me to align my desires with Your will. Amen.
