God is always up to something good and everything and everyone He created has a divine purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.” This is key in understanding God’s purpose for our lives.
Undoubtedly, God has numbered our days and will fulfill every purpose He has for us. However, the enemy wants nothing more than to breakdown, minimize, and impede the purpose God is working to fulfill in our lives.
Fortunately, God is our Protector in times of trouble (Psalm 18:3), our Shield in times of danger (Proverbs 30:5) and our Fortress in times of attack (Psalm 91:1-2). Not only that, God promises to “command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11, NIV).
Furthermore, God protects us not only in the physical realm that we can see, but also in the spiritual realm against forces we can’t see. The Bible says, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
Unfortunately, a spiritual battle rages around our purpose as the devil attempts to kill, steal and destroy. (John 10:10) He would like nothing better than to destroy the good God is working to fulfill in our lives. The devil sets traps of danger and destruction in the path of God’s people in hopes of catching us unaware and ill-prepared. Be ready. Don’t let him win.
My brothers and sisters, only God can police, preserve, and protect our purpose in life. Therefore, God will never abandon the work of His hands. Psalm 138:8 confirms, ”The Lord will fulfill [His purpose] for me. Lord, Your love is eternal; do not abandon the work of Your hands.”
