Day 17

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

You are not an accident. You're not wandering through life hoping something meaningful might happen. God created you with intentionality. He gifted you uniquely and placed you exactly where you are for a divine reason. Purpose isn't just something you find. It's something you follow.

Jeremiah 29:11 isn't just a motivational quote. It's a declaration that the God who designed the universe also designed your destiny. His plans for you are good and full of hope for the future. In this life, you don't step into purpose by chasing significance—you step into purpose by chasing obedience.

Your purpose is built one yes at a time. Yes to serving. Yes to trusting. Yes to stepping out of comfort. Yes to using what God placed in your hands. When you take a step, God uses the next one. And when you stay faithful, God enlarges your impact. Purpose grows from consistent character and courage.

You don't have to know the whole plan to live a purpose-filled life. You just have to trust the One who does. God is already building something in you that will outlast you.

Today:

• Identify your God-given strengths

• Ask God, "Where do you want to use me today?"

• Identify one practical step you can take today to move closer to the purpose God designed for you
