Fulfilling purpose, God’s purpose for your everyday life, is something we should have on our minds. Understanding purpose is like looking at appliances. Everybody has manufactured appliances such as a toaster, refrigerator, stove, microwave, or electric can opener in their homes. These are commonly found in people’s homes, and each has different workmanship. They are designed differently. They have different parts that make them operate. Each one has its unique reasons for being. Now, if that appliance operates outside of its reason for being, we have a problem. If you want to cook things in the refrigerator and freeze things in the stove, you will have a difficult situation in the home because that’s not what the workmanship is for. The workmanship is used for whatever the creator designed it to do. The toaster does not tell the creator what it will do today. The stove does not say to the creator what it will do today. It is the creator that dictates to the appliance the reason why the appliance exists. The appliance does whatever it’s been designed to do. In the same way, we are God’s creation, and He dictates to us why we exist and can tell us what we are designed to do. He gives us our purpose. If we operate outside our reason for being, that’s when we experience problems. Walking in the purpose God designed for us is how we fulfill our unique reason for being.1
