Service, Purpose

Hey, Y'all,

Today's RST I've also been pondering for a while. Several months ago mi hermano Art shared this pearl with me--Acts 13:36--and it's been rattling around my mind ever since...

"For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep..."

In another version it sounds like this...

"For David, after he had served his own generation in the will of God, fell asleep..."

Guess I've been thinking: what is God's purpose for me? How am I to serve my own generation? Am I honoring my particular shape, that peculiar combination of abilities (and ineptitudes :-), of passions and pet peeves, and my unique sphere of influence?

Lest anyone get too smug prematurely, what about you? There are people you touch and influence, people you can serve that I'll never even come close to meeting...So how 'bout it? What is your purpose? What are you shaped for? How will you serve?

You've been prayed for today...
