• So - what is your purpose? Why are you here?
• The Westminster Confession answered this in 1647 the following way: "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever."
• How do you glorify God? One way is by finding refuge in him. (On Saturday my year old boy quickly crawled back to me after exploring someone else's stuff in the park. When he found his refuge in me - I was 'glorified'!)
• How do you enjoy him? Just listen to David here below. His joy is knowing that his refuge is not just a dead bomb shelter but a living Father who gives him a purpose and fulfills it no matter what.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
Psalm 57:1-2
Prayer
Our Father in heaven, we praise you that you have provided for us a safe and living refuge to flee in to - Jesus Christ, our Saviour. We know that by hiding in Him through faith we are indeed glorifying you and fulfilling the main purpose we were created for. Help us to enjoy this freedom. Amen
