Seeing God's Purpose

God works through the lives of His people to accomplish purposes larger than their personal success. The Lord did not bring David out of the wilderness so David could enjoy a palace. He established David so Israel would have a shepherd, the nation would be united, and God’s larger redemptive purpose would move forward. For us today, we should recognize God’s purposes, submit every blessing to His rule, and use what He entrusts to us for the Good of others. That is a key life lesson. God's promises are not merely about what we receive. They are also about what He intends to accomplish through what He gives. And because God works through His people to accomplish His purposes, we must humbly use everything He entrusts to us for His glory and the good of others.
