A friend of mine was once asked, what do you do?

Well you might expect the usual answer, but hers surprised me.

She responded, I'm a follower of Christ, cleverly disguised as a mom, a wife, and a business

woman.

But what would have been your answer?

The theme of this meditation from Ecclesiastes chapter 3 will help you answer the question, what

do you do?

It will help you discover your divine purpose.

So to begin your meditation, slip into a time and place where you can once again become

aware of eternity.

You may start by listening and joining into this responsive reading and prayer from Romans

chapter 11, and just respond, Lord God, reveal a sense of my divine purpose.

You can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God, who can understand his decisions

Has anyone known the thoughts of the Lord or given him advice?

Lord God, reveal a sense of my divine purpose.
