My Purpose Got Me Sick!

Now thats a title you don’t see everyday.

Confession: Divinely broken’ s very own blogger has been very inconsistent in writing and releasing blogs. I made an excuse with every blog I released that “I’ll do better and ensure I issue a blog out weekly”… did I? NO!

One thing I grew weary of was God’s divine appointment on my life to issue out blogs weekly that would serve a purpose of possibly saving a life or drawing someone closer in knowing the Lord.

Truth is I underestimated the Lord, with typing this I’m brought to shame, but I know that’s the last thing the Lord needs from me. Rather He wants me to giddy up and issue out blogs consistently and get the Blog page name out there.

Having said that, may I take this moment to appreciate everyone who has commented on the blog posts I’ve released. Your words have been encouraging and they really affirmed the purpose the Lord has put in my life. But I’ll tell you one other thing that’s also reaffirmed the importance of sticking to God’s given purpose on my life, sickness 🤒.

Well I haven’t been feeling 100% for a good couple of months, I’ve had these anxious spells, tiredness and lack of motivation. The worst part is I figured I was feeling this way because I’d been too uptight, so I decided to let my hair down a bit and just treat myself a little bit too much.

I’m reminded of the story about the Prodigal son, in Luke 15 verses 11 to 32. The son decides to go to a different city and squander his entire inheritance on worldly things possibly hoping for some sort of fulfillment but when all his inheritance runs out, he is left with a void in his heart and tummy.

One day when feeding the pigs, with an empty tummy he thinks of how the servants back at his father’s farm have more than they can eat, and it is in that instant that he decides to go back home to plead with his dad to at least take him in as a servant for he has wronged him and God (Full passagehttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NLT).

Turns out ignoring my Purpose got me sick, like the Prodigal son who snapped back and remembered his dad’s farm and life there, I too looked at how little it benefited me to over indulge on entertainment and relaxing but to rather centre my priorities and get back to the blog space with a renewed mind.

Although today’s come back blog was mostly about me, I do pray and hope that you saw yourself in me some how. That God’s appointed tasks and words over our lives are to be taken very seriously true to the verse on 1 Samuel 15:22.

But Samuel replied, 
"What is more pleasing to the Lord: Your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams."
