Devotion for Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 "Do it on purpose"

Daniel 1:8a "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat..."

I like that phrase, "Daniel purposed in his heart." What a statement that is. In the Christian life, we must realize that if we are going to be exactly what God would have us to be, then we are going to have to do somethings on purpose.

If we are going to have a spirit-filled marriage, it's going to have to be done on purpose. If we are going to raise Godly children, it's going to have to be done on purpose. If we are going to grow in our Christian lives, it's going to have to be done on purpose. I could go on and on with the things that we need to purpose in our hearts, but I think you get the picture. These kind of things don't happen on accident, they happen on purpose.

What is your purpose today? Have a happy, spirit-filled marriage, raise some Godly children, grow in your Christian life, and do it on purpose.
