My goal in my life
Let me ask you what your goal in your life is. In the morning, just after getting up what do you have in your mind? If you are a merchant you may say that you want to be a rich person. If you are a scholar then you would say ‘I want be a famous professor in a big university.’ If you are a senior student in a high school, you would say that you want to get in a university which has good teachers as well as good environment for study.
However, let me ask you this. Is that really matter for you to be the one mentioned above? Let me ask you again. “What is your goal in your life?”
King Saul’s goal in his day
King Saul was the first King for Israelite. God did not want to give them a king but the people if Israel wanted so much. So God let Samuel anoint Saul as the king of Israel.
What is the story here is that Saul disobeyed God who allowed him to be a king. Why he did like that? I am telling you that Saul did not understand God and did not trust in God.
When Saul and his men were ready for marching against the Philistines, he did not care about God’s purpose on this war. He should have asked for God but he did not. Moreover, he overstepped Priest Samuel’s authority by offering sacrifice for himself so that they can win in this war.
What was the word from Samuel when the king has done his offering? Samuel said, “How foolish…You have disobeyed the command of the Lord your God….” He told the king that the king will be switched with the other man soon. Why? Saul did not understand and did not trust in God. Let me say that Saul had his own purpose that pleased himself than God.
Understand and trust in God
As we looked at the story of Saul, if someone has his or her goal of life that pleases himself or herself, that is unbelief. If a person who is a Christian does not care about God’s purpose on his or her life, then the person get rebuke from God.
Would you like to know God more to obey? God is creator of the universe. You are not from monkey or any others but from God. On God’s purpose in which we have relations with God, we are children of God. Would you like to call our God, “Father”, “Mother?”
God loves us so much, I mean, as giving God self, I mean, God sacrificed for us to be free people from our sins. Jesus is God. God came to us as the feature of Jesus. And he served us as our teacher. Jesus loved us as he gave us his life.
God you have ever experienced in your life want you to trust in God. What do you do when you need to decide something very important for your life? Then you must ask God and look at the Word and obey it. Whatever God give you a sign for your asking, you must follow your mind through which God showed God’s purpose. I am suggesting you that you must have your goal that understand and trust in God in your life as a Christian. I am sure you will be able to have this goal. Thank you.
Let’s Pray.
God creator and savior, we thank you for your work for us. Every time we pray we hear us and give us the best answer. We want to have the goal that we know you and trust in you. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
