The Light Daily Devotional –  Purpose of the Heart

Focus: Purpose of the Heart

The word for today

The purpose of God will not be fulfilled in the life of a man until he has come to a point where he has resolved to do the will of God at all cost. Every investment of God in the life of a man who does not have the purpose of God in his heart is a waste!

Scriptural Reference

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank.” (Daniel 1:8 NKJV). 

What God wants to do in the life of a man will only work out if he proposes in his heart to do God’s will at all cost. Daniel, among the Israelites chosen to serve the King of Babylon, was exceptional because the purpose of God was in his heart and he lived to fulfill it. 

The essence of the opportunities God has given you over the years to understand His counsel and His will through His word from various mediums is to ensure that you come to the point where you will be resolute in your decision to follow God and do His will at all cost. If all the programs and spiritual activities you’ve been able to have access to does not prompt you to be resolute in your decision to do God’s will at all cost like Daniel, Ruth and Joseph then, it is a waste on your life.

Your future in the Lord is not yet known or guaranteed if you don’t have the purpose of heart in doing God’s will. There is a need to examine your life in a bid to discover if you have come to the point of resolution in following the Lord and doing His will at all cost.

Meditation: Have you resolved to do the will of God at all cost?

Prayer: Dear Lord, Implant your purpose in my heart and give me the grace to do your will at all cost in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Emphasis: The beauty of your faith in Christ Jesus is in your resolution to follow Jesus and do His will at all cost!

Have a Great Friday!
