Strength for Singles - Lessons From Sampsonනියැදිය

DAY 1: PURPOSE

In case you haven't been told or you need the reminder, YOU are created on purpose, for purpose.

We see in Judges 13:5, that Sampson’s mom was told by an angel of the Lord while she was still pregnant that her baby son was “set apart to God from birth...”

Ok, even though this was a specific promise for Samson about the role he would play in history by helping "bring deliverance to the people of Israel"—we understand this is also a principle that applies to us as well. The Bible makes it clear all throughout scripture that we are created and “knit or woven together” by God for His purposes, plans or as some call it: destiny.

Now let’s take this a step further. What I’m about to tell you may seem like common sense, but let’s get real…when feelings, emotions and desires get involved—common sense often goes out the window.

Who you "tie yourself" to or get in a relationship with will directly impact your purpose. So when you are single and considering if you should or shouldn’t date "whoever they are"—consider this first.

It’s more than your love life that’s at stake, it's your life purpose.

We’ll talk more about this tomorrow but for now, take time to study + pray over the verses for today to help us better understand that God truly does have plans for our lives.
