Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified Bible)
11He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
In each of your hearts God has implanted a sense of purpose. Some people have spent their lives searching for that purpose, trying different jobs, taking different classes, searching for that “thing” that would satisfy them. Some people haven’t fulfilled their purpose because they are too focused on money and the thing they know they should be doing doesn’t pay much by man’s standard. Some people have been deterred from their purpose by family, friends, teachers, etc, maybe people had told them that they could never become an artist, a singer, a doctor, a teacher, etc. Or maybe some had been told, “You’re a Christian now, you should be working in the church, not out there in the world” (Not true, Jesus said in John 17:15…“My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.”). You might have heard many things, but you can’t discover your purpose through others, or through yourself, the only way to find your purpose is through God. The above scripture states…” He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy]” Only God alone can satisfy that purpose, only God alone can reveal it to you. It doesn’t matter how much you think you would make doing it, when you are in your assignment the vision God has given you will bring in the provision that you need, just trust God. If people have told you that you couldn’t do it, or you’ve doubted yourself, it’s time to let all of that go and hear only the voice of God. In Ephesians 2:1 it says…
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
God has already anointed you and prepared you on the inside for your purpose, you don’t have to feel it, you just have to know, by faith that you have an assignment to carry out just as Jesus had an assignment when He came to this earth…
Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
What if Jesus didn’t walk in His purpose and fulfill His assignment, where would we be? He could have made a decision out of His flesh to not go to the cross for us, yes He was God, but He was also fully man and that nature could have taken over, but thank Jesus He didn’t allow His flesh to move Him.
There are people out there waiting on each one of you. There are men that need to hear your testimony of deliverance, there are women that need to hear your story of mending from abuse, there are people that need to hear your testimony of healing, there are children and teens looking for someone who they can relate to and understand. There are celebrities that need God, and are looking for someone that is willing to tell them the truth, there are nations experiencing famine and war. All of these people are out there waiting on what God placed on the inside of you. It is time to release for others that which is within you. No more delay, no more fear, no more anxieties or worry, cast that all aside and trust in the Lord because the world is waiting for you. God bless!
