Finding Purpose

Today’s Reflection

It would be tempting to say Paul doesn’t fit the ideal recipe for an apostle. . . . Yet God uses everything about Paul’s life to carry out a purpose of sharing the with world the message of hope through Jesus Christ.

Today’s Question

How can God use your most unlikely traits to bring the message of Jesus to the world?

Today’s Scripture

Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ. . . . This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Ephesians 3:8,11 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

God, you are the way, the truth, and the life. Show me the path you are calling me to go down and give me the strength to follow you, wherever you may lead. Amen.
