Too many of us think that finding the reason God placed us here on earth will come in one lump assignment with a big title and complete job description. But I believe that discovering our purpose will unfold slowly, like a seed planted in the deep ground.
Each day, a seed embraces the task placed before it. Today it might have to embrace the dark soil it has been pushed into.
Eventually, the seed sprouts and reveals what it was always meant to be. The seed’s potential is unlocked and its purpose is revealed through embracing each and every circumstance God brought its way.
Isn’t it glorious how nature doesn’t resist God? May the same be said of us as we seek to live our lives wholly for Him.
Father God, today we choose to embrace exactly where we are, even if it is hard and messy. Thank You that we can trust You are working every single thing together for good. We believe that we are safe in Your embrace. Amen.
