And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.(Luke.13.8 -9)
Is there anything that exists and lives without purpose? Such a thing never exists. Scientific research will tell you that animals like octopuses and honeybee drones die after breeding. By this it's clear that it has fulfilled it's purpose.
Anything without or done without purpose is often phased out. Now have you asked yourself the reason you are still alive? Or do you even think about what gives you the reason to wake up every morning? It's purpose. Or if you don't know your purpose, it still holds you alive while calling out to you.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: [Ecclesiastes.3.1].
God exalts purpose above sin. That's why to ensure that all men fullfil purpose without dying because of sin; for the wages of sin is death , He sent His only son to deal with sin. Sending His mercy and Grace to stand in the gap just like our theme scripture is saying And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Do you know why scripture compares to a shock of corn in it's season? [Job 5.26]. Because purpose must be fulfilled.
Even in that madness or hopelessness that you think you are caught in, by the mere fact that you are still alive, your purpose remains. Pickup yourself and find your purpose. You would ask how to find your purpose. Well the answer is simple.
"And He hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts.17.26 -28)
Jesus is the answer for your such for purpose. No man knows Jesus and doesn't get to know their purpose. If they don't then maturity should fix it.
Friends the Grace that is keeping you is away to allow you fulfill purpose. Don't receive that Grace in vain.
Hallelujah!
