When you get up in the morning

and face the day, what do you
say to yourself?
When you look from the beginning
of the day to the end of the day,
what do you want to happen?
 PURPOSEFUL
“Blessed are those who keep his
testimonies, who seek him with their
whole heart.”

Psalm 119:2 ESV

 PURPOSEFUL
Resolving to accomplish a long-range
goal and allowing this goal to determine
my daily progress
 GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR
EVERYONE
“But I have raised you up for this very
purpose, tat I might show you my power and
that my name might be proclaimed in all the
earth.”

Exodus 9:16
GOD’S PURPOSE CAN’T BE UNDONE

“I know that you can do all things; no

purpose of yours can be thwarted.”

Job 42:2
GOD’S PURPOSE IS THE ONE THAT LASTS

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart,

but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”

Proverbs 19:21
EVERY PERSON IS BORN WITH PURPOSE

“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep

waters, but one who has insight draws them
out”

Proverbs 20:5
 GOD FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR
BELIEVERS
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always
obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in
my absence—continue to work out your salvation with
fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will
and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose”

Philippians 2:12-13
 GOD WORKS THROUGH ALL SITUATIONS
TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE
“And we know that in all things God works for
the good of those who love him, who have been
called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28
 GOD HAS A GREATER PURPOSE
IN SAVING US
“He has saved us and called us to a holy
life—not because of anything we have done
but because of his own purpose and grace.”

2 Timothy 1:9
So, whether you eat or drink,
or whatever you do, do all to
the glory of God.

I Corinthians 10:31 ESV

 JONATHAN EDWARDS
(1703–1758)

He is widely considered one the

most important theologians in
American history—has influenced
generation after generation with his
transcendent vision of our great and
glorious God.
From “70 Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards”:

■ Resolution # 5: “Resolve never to lose one

moment of time; but improve it the most
profitable way I possibly can.”
■ Resolution # 6: “Resolved, to live with all my
might, while I do live.”
■ Resolution # 17: “Resolved, that I will live so, as
I shall wish I had done when I come to die.”
It is clear in the Bible that
God means for us to aim
consciously at something
significant in our days.
Aimlessness is
akin to
Lifelessness.
Don’t waste your life;
don’t waste it.
