It can be difficult for us as Christian women to know our purpose. There are so many voices shouting at us, suggesting all kinds of expectations for us to prove our worth. But God’s Word rises majestically above the clamor, and the good news is that God doesn’t ask a thousand or even a hundred things of His women.
He only asks us to focus on ten essential things that help us fulfill His grand purpose for us as women who love Him, who love and serve others, and who reflect Him to the world. His list, found in Titus 2:3-5, contains these essentials on which to focus our time and energies:
It’s profoundly liberating to know your purpose in life! And, from this list it’s not as mysterious as we might think.
Ladies, you may already be pursuing God’s purpose in Titus 2:3-5. But you might also want to ask yourself, “Who, not what, is my Purpose?” Am I faithfully serving those in my path who are part of my purpose—my family, my church, my co-workers and acquaintances? Am I willing to follow in Jesus’ faithful steps and make the sacrifices faithfulness requires? Growing more like Jesus awaits you on the other side of these answers and actions.
Take time today to consider your answer these questions and your willingness to serve the Lord in the manner He is calling you.
But if you’re a little behind or uncertain, spend time examining Jesus’ life. Pay close attention to His focus and confidence as He lived God’s purpose on a daily basis. Notice how He fixed His gaze on God’s plan for Him. And be encouraged! As a woman who is seeking God’s plan, you are already evidencing purpose. You are reflecting Jesus as you live out His instructions to “seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33).
Lord, thank You for Your plan for me. Help me to know and live out my purpose as a woman after God’s heart. Amen.
