Purposeful Process Luke 8:1-3 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. WHAT would you like to accomplish today, this coming week, month or year—even in your lifetime? What do you feel God might be pointing you to do or become in your life? If your answer is, “I just want to be happy.” Or “I just want to get through the day.” Then perhaps you might want to consider Jesus’ example of purposeful living. See how Jesus is in a process to “proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God”. Notice how purposeful he is to do so as he goes from town to town. See how he develops disciples to be the next kingdom messengers. Also, notice how the named women were “helping to support them out of their own means”. Jesus needed support material support of food and shelter to physically stay in his gospel process. Jesus’ preaching, the disciples and his supporters were the result of Jesus’ purposeful process to bring salvation to the world. What’s your life’s purpose? Don’t know? Then seek God’s leading. What is in your heart and your mind to do? Step into your desires and see where he directs you. When you do, you will enter into a process of purposeful living—just as Jesus did. It’s True! Purposeful living is a process with God.
