“I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.”
– Psalm 57:2
David thought he knew God’s plan for his life, and yet it certainly didn’t seem to be happening! Though he’d been anointed as the next king of Israel, David was fleeing for his life from the current king. Hiding in a cave, it would have been understandable for David to question whether things would ever work out. But he didn’t!
David knew God had a purpose for his life and was confident that even at that dark hour, God would fulfill His purpose. We know that He did! We must remember this for ourselves as well. God has a purpose for your life. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then the truth of Ephesians 2:10 is your truth, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
God has uniquely prepared good works for you to do. There are disciples to be made, people to be loved, the gospel to be shared, praises to be raised, service to be performed…uniquely by you.
In darkest times, you may doubt this. You may question your purpose, your significance, or how you could possibly do these things. Know that God can and will fulfill His purpose for you! In those dark hours, cry out to God Most High! Trust Him. Lean on Him. Work in His power rather than your own. May His will be done in your life and the lives of all His beloved sons and daughters!
