Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 25 Mar 2008

Imagine being stranded in one of the hottest, driest, and life draining deserts in the world. You are trying to find the smallest and greatest treasure. You know it is there and you know if you found it, it would give you the greatest satisfaction. Today’s word of encouragement is this, 1) How persistent are you in finding and fulfilling your destiny? 2) Go for it, and don’t stop searching. How persistent are you? The picture of being in a desert trying to find a treasure is simply searching for your destiny. Would you seek and seek and seek till you found your destiny? You are getting tired, thirsty, and hungry; suddenly you find a huge gold coin worth billions, but it isn’t your destiny, would you stop searching and stick with the gold coin? Some of us would actually stop right there because the gold coin is worth billions, but in the end we would never be satisfied because that is not our destiny, and what we have been called to do. Are we in careers just because it pays well? You know, we will never be satisfied if we don’t find our destiny, because we will always feel emptiness and unsatisfied. Do you ever say this to yourself or pray this to God? I know that I was made to do something else. Go for it, and don’t stop searching. Imagine finding your treasure, and fulfilling the destiny God has for you. The feeling can’t even be described. Not even money can satisfy this feeling. The worst response anyone could give is this, “I’m too young! Or I’m too old! To fulfill my destiny.” A person at 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80 it does not matter—your destiny is unique to you. If it takes you till you are 80 to find your destiny, great! When we find our destiny the years of living out that destiny is far greater than all the years of life not living that destiny out. I know that I was made to do something else, but I don’t know what it is. How hungry and thirsty are you to find what you have been made to do? I hope our response to God would be, “God, I will not STOP till I see Your name praised, glorified, and raised on high through Your purpose in my life.” Job 15:31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. © Mar 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
