Example of a Purpose Driven Life

Example of a Purpose Driven Life Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. (Exodus 2:1-2) Many people don't know who Jochebed (pronounced JAH kuh bed) was. But once learning what she would do, they immediately say, "Oh, yeah, now I know." Who was Jochebed? Big Clue: To protect her newborn son from Pharaoh's command that every male Hebrew child be killed, she placed him in an ark of bulrushes on the Nile River. After Pharaoh's daughter discovered the baby, Jochebed became his nurse. Jochebed was the mother of Moses. Little is said about Jochebed in the Bible, but she is one of a few women listed among the heroes and heroines of faith in Hebrews 11. It does not take a whole lot to prove to God that one is faithful. Jochebed's one act of faith affected the entire nation of Israel. It was her courage and trust in such an act that had a bigger part in God's divine plan. Jochebed let love, faith and courage save her child who grew up to save a nation. God used Jochebed. God used Moses. Jochebed served her purpose. Moses served his purpose. God placed us all on earth for a specific purpose. Are you living a purpose driven life? You have read the book by Rick Warren. You have had discussions based on the book. Now it is time to put both books into practice: the Bible and the Purpose Driven Life.

I have never read Rick Warren's book, however I have thought about getting it on many occassions. Currently I am using a small book of his "What on Earth Am I Here For?" as my morning study. Many of the verses I post come from my morning study using this road map. Once again, thank you for a meaningful and "purposeful" post. Walking and Talking with My Lord! Sally
