12 Nov 13 devotional from, Experiencing God
Why are we here? What are we doing on earth? Better question…what are YOU doing here on earth. Are you making a name for yourself. Are you gaining wealth and prestige? Are you making sure you are well taken care of? How about this… are you watching after others? Are you spreading God's word and saving non believers from an eternity of darkness?
We were not put on this earth to watch our own backs, to make sure everything is ok in our little worlds. It's God's job and pleasure to watch over us and make sure everything in our lives goes accordingly. The bible says that, God watches over the birds of the sky, making sure they are taken care of, and we are even more important than the birds. Our job is to make sure everyone knows that! Yes, God could miraculously turn everyone into believers and save everyone all at once, but that is not how He wants to work this world. He has a plan, and as part of His plan, we are to serve and obey His will.
There's more to this world than just earthly possessions and relationships (remembering that in the right context NEITHER of those are bad things), ask God to guide you and show you where He wants to be, and becoming a part of something bigger.
