Spiritual growth takes intentionality.  As part of setting the tone for 2016, join us at Awaken City Church as we take a five day journey to make space for God in our lives and to mediate on God’s word.  Here is a link to the study.

Today is the final day of our 5 day study.  Today focuses in on this very simple fact.  You have purpose.  The original author of this study makes this statement.  “Don’t let God’s purpose for your life become stale and feel old to you”.   We can go through the process of drawing close to God, digging into His word, listening to Him but if we do not do what He has asked us to do then are we truly living our life with purpose?  I would say no.  So what does it take to live a life with purpose?  This is what I believe it takes:

1. Know Jesus as your Lord and savior.
2. Read/meditate on the word of God.
3. Pray and listen to God in your life.
4. Do what He says.
5. Repeat steps 2-4.

Sounds simple right? It can be.  Don’t let life run you over and hand you excuses to justify not living with a purpose.

 For I know the thoughts andplans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.- Jer. 29:11
