If people can\u2019t see what God is doing,\xa0they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals,\xa0they are most blessed. Proverbs 29:18\xa0(MSG)
When the connection is secure, clarity is supplied.
When clarity is supplied, purpose is discovered.
In him we were also chosen,\xa0having been predestined\xa0according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose\xa0of his will\u2026 Ephesians 1:11 (NIV)
Purpose is not one day delivered\u2026 it is every day discovered.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,\xa0set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.\xa02\xa0Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.\xa03\xa0For you died,\xa0and your life is now hidden with Christ in God\u2026 Colossians 3:1-3 (NIV)
5\xa0Put to death,\xa0therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality,\xa0impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,\xa0which is idolatry.\xa06\xa0Because of these, the wrath of God\xa0is coming.\xa07\xa0You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.\xa08\xa0But now you must also rid yourselves\xa0of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,\xa0and filthy language from your lips.\xa09\xa0Do not lie to each other,\xa0since you have taken off your old self\xa0with its practices\u2026 10\xa0and have put on the new self,\xa0which is being renewed\xa0in knowledge in the image of its Creator.11\xa0Here there is no Gentile or Jew,\xa0circumcised or uncircumcised,\xa0barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,\xa0but Christ is all,\xa0and is in all. Colossians 3:5-10 (NIV)
12\xa0Therefore, as God\u2019s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,\xa0gentleness and patience.\xa013\xa0Bear with each other\xa0and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.\xa014\xa0And over all these virtues put on love,\xa0which binds them all together in perfect unity.15\xa0Let the peace of Christ\xa0rule in your hearts, since as members of one body\xa0you were called to peace.\xa0And be thankful.\xa016\xa0Let the message of Christ\xa0dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom\xa0through psalms,\xa0hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.\xa0Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
17\xa0And whatever you do,\xa0whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks\xa0to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (NIV)
Love God, and do what you will.\u201d \u2013 St. Augustine
Purpose is not one day delivered\u2026 it is everyday discovered.
