Your life has purpose!  Do you remember as a child having many different ideas of what you wanted to do when you grew up?  Perhaps those ideas kept changing!  Within each of us though, is a desire to know what we have been created for – our purpose.

 

Often God gives us glimpses into this long before it happens.  Let’s look at the life of Abraham.

The other day I was working on a jigsaw puzzle wtih my grandson.  “Let’s begin with the corner piece,” I suggested.  Gradually the picture took shape, but it looked as if one piece was missing.  Finally we found it hidden under a chair.

There was one scene at the recent Olympic Games that captured the world’s attention.  Two athletes, one a New Zealander and the other an American, fell in the 5000 meter race.  They helped each other up, and although the American girl was injured, they both finished the race in the last two places.  That is perseverance!  In Hebrews 12:1 it says, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
