SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfils his purpose for me…
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
OBSERVATION: David was in trouble as King Saul was seeking to kill him. At this time in David’s life, Saul’s intense hatred for him was ruining his life, yet David had confidence that God would fulfill His purpose. David called out to the One greater than the king! He called on God Most High! God had a purpose for David; that purpose was God’s responsibility; God was able to bring it to pass! King Saul could not stop God’s purpose for David!
So often when we think about God having a purpose for someone, we think of the great characters in the Bible that God used in key ways. But God had a purpose for the parents who gave them life, and a home, and provisions and schooling. In considering God having a purpose, we may overlook Ruth and Nehemiah or Paul’s nephew in Acts.
APPLICATION: The same God Most High has a purpose for me. Nothing can stop Him from fulfilling His purpose! He sent His love and faithfulness through His Son Jesus. He sends His love and faithfulness through the presence of His Holy Spirit. He is loving to me and faithful to Himself.
God has a purpose for every SOAP reader. He may even have a special purpose for today. God may lead you to a special time of prayer for your spouse or children. God may bring one person into your life today for you to encourage, or to give your testimony, or to pray with as they give their life to Jesus. God’s purpose for you will never be something you cannot do. But being faithful, you will discover He is working through you.
PRAYER: God Most High, you are fulfilling your purpose for me. You sent your Son Jesus to provide for my salvation. You now send your Holy Spirit to empower me to fulfill your purpose. I trust your love and faithfulness. Amen
