What is your life purpose? What is the Lord’s life purpose for you? Perhaps a good starting point is to glorify God. Giving glory to God keeps the glory from going to a person, team, or institution. It is built-in accountability against pride and envy. Glorifying God gives Him the credit due His name, and it shows the world who is responsible for your success.

• I like what my friend, Ken Boa, said, “I want to glorify God by loving Him completely, loving myself correctly, and loving others compassionately.” The object of our affections receives our attention and energy. And when the motivation behind our efforts is to glorify God, it makes those affected by our effects curious. “Who is this Lord you love?” “Why do you have such confidence that Christ cares?” “How can I experience God like you do?”
• So consider crafting a purpose statement that reflects the Lord’s plan for your life. Use it as a compass to keep you aligned with the Almighty’s priorities for this season of life. Perhaps you write it out and develop its meaning for your children to understand and embrace. Search the Scriptures and find a verse or verses that define your purpose.
• My purpose is to “Glorify God by being a faithful husband, available father, loyal friend, and loving leader.” What’s yours? God brings success when you fulfill His purpose.
