Having Purpose

I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. God is mighty, but does not despise men; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose. Making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ. I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear him. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. But He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” The Son of God came for this purpose: to destroy the devil's work. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock—not one! Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
