Training Hearts and Teaching minds

Q. What is mans primary purpose?

A. Mans primary purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.

What happens when you use for a purpose other than its real purpose? For example, what if you wanted whiter teeth, so you tried to brighten them up with white sho polish? Would it work? Of course not! Sho polish is for shoes not teeth. What would happen if you put marshmellows in the toaster? You would have a terribal mess or a fire, because a toaster is for toasting bread not marshmellows. Things work best when we use them for the purpose they were intended.

God had a purpose in mind for human beings when He created them. God intended for people to knpw and enjoy Him. Rocks and trees and kittens cannot enjoy God- but people can!

Read Psalm 16:11. This verse describes the joy and the pleasure people have in God when they live according to there purpose God has for them. Some people live as though thier purpose was to have a good time or make a lot of money. People like this are never satisfied. They find that the joy of fun times or having new things wears off. That is because they are not living according to the purpose God has for them. When we live to enjoy God, we are doing what God made us to do and our joy in Him will last.
