Living on Purpose

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Living on Purpose.” James Banks wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is Romans 12:9–21 with the key verse, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”, 1 Corinthians 10:31. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

During my military career as a Military Intelligence Officer, I had many dangerous missions. It was clear that if I were caught, I am on my own, and chances are I will be executed. Knowing the dangers, I still took the job.

When I became a Christian, I volunteered for the mission of being an ambassador for God. My new mission is to spread the “Good News” of God’s love and our salvation. I knew there will be risks and persecution, and maybe death. Recognizing these dangers, I accepted the job.

Reflect:

Have you ever been on a mission? How can you make life all about God?

Prayer:

Please give me the grace to live for You, Jesus, so that I may one day hear You say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (Matthew 25:23).

My Prayer for You:

May God bless and give you the grace to live for Jesus.
