Determine Your Mission

Determine your Mission “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14 Your joy in life is determined by doing what you love. I have observed so many people over the years, who appear to not enjoy life, and are mired down in an existence where they are unhappy and many times depressed. I believe a good clue to what each of our gift and talent God gave us, is the things we love. What do you love to do? What do you love to talk about? What would you do with your life if money was not a factor? When we love what we do we become focused on it, and devote the time and our talent to better ourselves, and become better at whatever we love. We need to establish our mission in life. When we look at the life of Jesus we see that His mission was to save all mankind. He stayed focused on this mission and did not waver. He associated with fishermen, tax collectors, doctors, lawyers and religious leaders during His ministry, but He did not lose His focus. When we love something and are focused on our mission in life, we will succeed as we will devote our time and talent to it. I believe that broken focus is the real reason so many men fail in their lives. I have heard people say that they had spent their entire life working on a job that made them miserable. When you ask them why they have worked for thirty years, many will answer that “it is only ten minutes from my house, and in three years I will receive a gold watch, when I retire.” They have wasted their entire life doing something that they did not enjoy, and not fulfilled the mission of God. God has placed in us a specific design and purpose and we should remain focused on this mission.
