Divine Purpose: The Place Whose Builder and Maker is God

[Ava Gabrielle]

Good Morning World! While we are making plans, God is planning destiny. As we are planning goals for life we often do so with the expectation of success measured in the things that we accumulate or the recognition that we receive. Yet, when we pursue the place whose Builder & Maker is God, we do so with more lasting expectations. We hope to leave a legacy, not just things. What will your legacy say about you?

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Genesis 32:28

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. Genesis 35:10

As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. Genesis 17:4-6

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrew 11:10

Quote of the Day: Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day. Billy Graham

“I maybe here for a shortwhile, gone tomorrow into oblivion or until the days come to take me away. But, in whatever part you play, be remembered as part of a legacy...of sharing dreams and changing humanity for the better. It's that legacy that never dies”. Author Unknown
