The will of God for your life is by far, of utmost importance. In fact, it may not be out of order to say that it is the single most important area in your walk with God. Our heart attitude must be one of constantly asking and seeking to ascertain what His will is in the areas with which we have to do. Here are some thoughts along this line.
James is a fast moving book. Eleven loose topics are handled in rapid succession in these 5 chapters. It is a book containing multiple imperatives (commands), over 60 of them in this letter. It is a book about ‘doing’ as in doing the Word of God.
Ladies, even before the world was made, you were chosen to be holy. Even before the world was made, you were chosen to be an example. Godly woman of purpose you were predestined according to His purpose. Before you were born, you were already set apart. That’s before anybody influenced you against God. That’s before anybody mistreated you. That’s before anybody abused you. That’s before you were ever put down because it’s a ‘man’s world’. Before the thought ever entered your parent’s minds to have you, God ordained you. Let’s look into the Word and look at some women who found their purpose. Let’s look at what God said in the Bible. We are going to see that what God said in the Bible was way different than what was going on outside during Bible times concerning the role of women.
There are many people who have no sense of mission. Individuals who walk every day on a path that leads to nowhere. People who have no sense of what their purpose is on planet earth. People who are just existing from day to day whose whole purpose in life is getting to the weekend. Can this be corrected? Can we find a sense of mission in life? Yes, thank God, we can.
