There is a problem you've been born to solve

I am a strong believer that "there is a problem every person was born to solve." God has purpose for every person He created! I feel the mandate on my life is to help people find their purpose and then help develop and deploy them for their God-given assignment.

Many in the church today are talking about "destiny", but not many are talking about "purpose." Destiny is simply a place where your actions are taking you. It can be good or bad! If you are speeding down the highway...you are destined to get a ticket. But purpose is the God-designed assignment for your life. You can't escape from your purpose. You've heard the saying "you can run, but you can't hide!" Once God has put His finger on your life, you have been chosen and He will move Heaven and earth to help make your purpose come about.

"I don't feel quite so stupid!"

Looking at Deut. 17, I find it interesting what God told the Israelites when they were going into the land He was giving them. He was telling them, if you get there and do start wanting a king, there are three things I want to warn you to not let him do.
1. The king must not build up a large stable for himself and get any horses from Egypt. (Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses, 12,000 horses...most of which came from Egypt.)
2. The king must not take many wives for himself and none from other countries. (Solomon had 700 royal wives and 300 non-royal wives from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites.)
3. The king must not accumulate vast amounts of wealth in silver and gold. (Solomon received 25 TONS of gold per year. The silver was so common, it was viewed as almost worthless.)

So let's look at scripture. It tells us that Solomon was the wisest king even after all this. (I don't feel so stupid now.) Now look at Solomon's dad. David took another man's wife, got her pregnant, then had the true husband killed. Scripture calls him a man after God's heart.

So here we have an example of WISDOM and God's HEART. I hope you see what I see. When we feel like we blow it, just look at those God has used in the past... repent, and move on! God's not finished using you or me. If He can take these two to rule His nation, what can He do with US.

God bless,

Jeff
