Living life without a purpose leads nowhere and ends badly. Having goals to reach saves men, not only from financial poverty but from an empty existence. Men and women who become attorneys, doctors, dentists, Olympic gold medalists, professors, business owners, ministers or members of other professions do not reach their goal by sitting on the couch wishing life were better.
Neither do we become godly men and women simply by wishing we were. People of faith not only receive the gift of salvation; they pursue God.
"Flee youthful lusts but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on The Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Timothy 3:22).
