One of my favorite questions in the Bible comes from 1 Kings 19 in the life of Elijah. God asks Elijah, "Why are you here?" That is the ultimate question and it doesn't seem fair that God is asking it of Elijah. Shouldn't it be the other way around? After all isn't that our mission as followers of Christ --- discovering God's will for our lives?
What is our purpose?
What is our mission?
Finding purpose in life is important. It can keep us going. It can keep us hoping.
But what if our purpose isn't so much about discovering our purpose, but rather it is living the purpose we were given at birth?
What if we have multiple ways of living out our purpose in life?
What if the question isn't ours to ask, but instead it is God's?
Why are you here? Are you even in the place that God wants you to be? Should you, or could you, be someplace else?
Why are you here?
And while we are at where we you last Sunday?
I'll see you Sunday as we seek to discover some answers . . .
