I often think, "what can I do for God today," knowing I was born for a purpose. "How can I be of service, or what good deed can I do?" My mindset is usually about doing something for others. I still believe I should do good deeds and serve others, but there are days the opportunity does not present itself. Then what? Of course, there is always prayer for others, and there is a whole list of friends and acquaintances who need daily prayers. God does hear these prayers, and He answers with what is needed and in His time.
However, I found still another way to please God in my Sunday study of Revelations 4:11, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." You might say, a light bulb lite up! The teacher of our lesson stated it plainly and simple. I was created by God for God's pleasure. "What pleases God?" he asked. "Praise and worship! "
So what other purpose do I have? It is to glorify and praise God.
"Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God, the Almighty,
who was, who is and who is to come." Rev. 4:8b
