This fast paced world we live in has pushed aside the role of family and its consequences are really beginning to rear their heads. Family helps place values and purpose in a life. The breakdown of family values has resulted in youths who have lost the purpose for living. While growing up in Africa we constantly heard of riots with a cause but never saw the wanton madness that we have experienced in the United Kingdom. Riots were usually for a reason but this week we have seen kids express themselves with no reason. These have been riots without a purpose by a purposeless generation.
A life without a purpose will always be destructive. Solomon wrote of the importance of a vision declaring that where no vision existed the people have no restraint Proverbs 29:18. What are the benefits of purpose?
- Purpose gives you direction.
- Purpose creates boundaries for behaviour. You won't do what castrates your life because you live for a purpose.
- Purpose brings joy. A purpose fulfilled results in joyful living.
Lets get on our knees and pray that we may locate the purpose we were created for in Christ we are created for good works Ephesians 2:10. May our lives display His good works wherever we go.
