We’re all here for a purpose. Really? What purpose? For some people it depends on the day as to what they say is their purpose. Should purpose change? Dictionary.com gives some definitions for the word purpose when used as a noun and a verb.
Noun definitions included the reason which something exists; an intended or desired result, end, aim, or goal; determination. Verb definitions included to set as an intention, goal or aim for oneself; to intend, design. Individually, each of those definitions are effective. However, they took on a new meaning for me when I put them together in the following statement:
To have a purpose is to determine the reason why we exist. All our lives are designed or intended to find our purpose, so we go forth with determination and set as a goal for ourselves to live out our purpose intentionally-daily.
My conclusion is that purpose shouldn’t change. It may look different from day to day as we encounter different situations. Our purpose should be what moves us through each day with determination and intention in order to thrive not merely survive!
“Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).” Proverbs 19:21 AMP
