DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE

DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE

"And God said unto Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you,
and your seed after you in their generations." Genesis 17:9

"We are surrounded throughout our lifetime by a multitude of things
designed for specific purposes. Without argument, most things are at
their best when they are fulfilling their purpose and design.

For instance, a piano is made with a specific purpose: to produce music.
However, I happen to know that someone once stood on a piano in order to
put a fastener of some kind in the ceiling . . . I have seen piano tops
that were cluttered filing cabinets or wide library shelves.

There is an intelligent design in the creation of a piano. The
manufacturer didn't announce: 'This is a good piano. It has nineteen
uses!' No, the designer had only one thought in mind: 'This piano will
have the purpose and potential of sounding forth beautiful music . . .
!'

Don't miss the application of truth here. God said to Abraham, 'You may
have some other idea about the design and purpose for your life, but you
are wrong! You were created in My image to worship Me and to glorify Me.
If you do not honor this purpose, your life will degenerate into
shallow, selfish, humanistic pursuits." -- A. W. Tozer from TOZER ON THE
ALMIGHTY GOD published by Christian Publications and available from the
KESWICK ONLINE BOOKSTORE (www.americaskeswick.org).

This morning as you gather with like-minded believers, remember YOU WERE
DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE. You were created to worship HIM. Enjoy HIM
today!
