Read: Isaiah 49:1-6
Meditation: This scripture is one you are probably familiar with
if you’ve went through our "Purpose Driven Life" study. God
tells Isaiah that God formed him specifically with a blueprint, and also
that his specific purpose was to be a servant to Him. We are all formed
in this way. We all fit in the church somewhere, and God gives us clues
where that may be. It’s up to us to see.
Prayer Starter: Father, open my eyes so that I can see Your
vision for me in Your church. Thank You for not just creating me, but
for creating me with a purpose. 
Read: 2 Timothy 1:7-9
Meditation: Paul speaks to us about having the discipline to stick
things out. He tells us not to be ashamed or scared of the struggles that we
may have to go through, but rather stick it out, because it’s from that
discipline that God will define His purpose in our life.
Prayer Starter: Help me Father, to hang on to You during the
struggles that I may have to face. Help me always to look to You in my time
of struggle, and help me also to rejoice in these things. Give me the faith
to know that You will show up in Your time.
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:1-3
Meditation: These verses are pretty clear about the Spirit’s
importance in our lives. Without the Spirit, we can be fooled into pursuing
goals which God doesn’t want for us. If we don’t recognize Him in our
journey to achieve our purpose, then we run the risk of being fooled,
therefore never fulfilling the purpose that God has for us.
Prayer Starter: Thank You Father, for sending me the Spirit, who
counsels me in my decisions. Help me to recognize the Spirit’s presence in
my life, and give me the faith to know that the Spirit is guiding
me.
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
Meditation: Again, these verses stress the Spirit’s importance in
our lives. Without Him, we will miss the gifts that God has sent us. Without
Him we will overlook the ones intended for us, and try to latch on to the
ones that aren’t.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to see the spiritual gifts that You put
in my life; then give me the motivation to use them.
Read: Ephesians 4:11-14
Meditation: Here we see that God has appointed people to do very
different things. The point of this is so that we can all grow in maturity.
When we all grow in maturity together, we build a strong foundation for our
faith. God has a place in the church that He wants you active. It’s up to
you and the people with whom you fellowship with to find out where that is.
Prayer Starter: Father, help me to find my place. Right now, I’m
not sure where You want me in the church. If I am somewhere where I shouldn’t
be, move me to where I need to be. Help me to stop making excuses, and start
focusing on what You tell me. I know one thing; there is a place for
me.
Read: Revelation 5:13
Meditation: One way to begin our motivation towards finding our
purpose, is to look at the end result. We are blessed to have a God that
gives us a glimpse into eternity. God shows us that we will be in this
multitude praising Him with everything we have. We have this type of
worship in our hearts now. We can commune with these people even now. We
are blessed to be able to be a part of the "Communion of
Saints," in which we have a connection with the people who are
already in this place. Doesn’t it sound wonderful. Remember, God has a
place for you in heaven, but first He expects you to come to His table
here on earth.
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for giving me this
"Communion of Saints." I can draw strength and wisdom from
those who have gone on before me. I pray that You will always keep a
glimpse of heaven in my mind, and that this will always give me the
motivation to find my purpose every day of my life.
