A Joseph Calling, Fulfilling Your Purpose and Putting God First

This is the first time I have ever experienced all 3 devotionals speaking a message the Lord wants an individual or individuals to hear. The same theme runs through all of them, relationship with our Father is the key to your life. Instead of our normal format, I’m writing a short intro to each one and adding the links for the full devotional. I encourage you to read the one that speaks to you this morning.

Blessings

There are so many unanswered questions in life. The most difficult is trying to understand the will of God. While this first devotional will not answer all of those questions, you will gain insight to the why’s of life if you are going through ‘stuff’ right now. I’m reminded of Romans 8:28, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Walk as Jesus Did

‘Preach the gospel always and when necessary use words.’ That quote has been attributed to Francis of Assisi for many years, I have used it myself from time to time. It seems however, that it may not have been the exact words the Franciscan spoke or he may not have said it at all. Regardless of the origin, the thought behind the phrase is valid for work place believers.

Paul dramatically expressed what love is in 1 Cor 13:4-8a, 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails

Time to Hear

I heard it said many years ago, when God stops speaking to you, go back to the last place you said no to Him and say yes.

Obedience is always the path for moving forward with the Lord, even when it doesn’t make sense to you or me. There are times when the Lord will ask us to do something that seems silly. All I can say is we can not see nor understand the consequences of our actions. So when the Lord asks you to do something, just do it.

When we are obedient in the small things, it sets us up for greater responsibility and bigger impact. I see that in our business and ministry. We started very small in both areas. The Lord has increased our responsibility and reach in the live event streaming world. The impact from our walk with Him has increased significantly just in the last year.

Stepping Out

I have a sense the Lord is speaking specifically to a person or group of people through the last several devotionals.

There are 2 things I’ve learned in my walk with our Father, it’s always better to do His will for our lives and giving Him absolute control of our life is essential.

This does not mean we throw caution to the wind and do something foolish or that we do not have to participate in the work. Jesus used a boys lunch to feed the 5000, He started with something to demonstrate the need for us to sacrifice what we have for His purpose.

Do You Know Who You Are?

One of the greatest tools I was given upon returning to the Father’s house was the need to live a transparent life. Nothing hidden, everything out in the open, always tell the truth.

Living a transparent life is not easy. There are times when the Lord asks you to bare your soul to the world. It’s always embarrassing and deeply personal but, in being transparent, it allows others to know they can move beyond their sins, past and present. It’s in these times I truly understand how much I have been forgiven and how grateful I am for my Lord’s grace and mercy.
