Ground Yourself in Scripture
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Proverbs 4:20–22

As I sat on the pew, Bible open, listening intently as the preacher read the passage for his text. I thumbed open to Revelation four, verse eleven as he quoted, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” He asked the question, “What is your purpose here on earth?” I’ve thought of that many times throughout my life, as I am sure you have, too. It is possibly the most important question we should ask because when you know the answer, it changes how you live and how you think.
According to this verse, I believe our purpose is to glorify and honor Christ while bringing others to Him. Paul Chappell says, “Every one of us needs a reason to live—a compelling cause and purpose that keeps us going when we would rather quit.” Instead of focusing on myself and what brings me joy or success, I should prioritize honoring the Lord and glorifying Him in my words and actions. The crazy thing about it is the most amazing fulfillment and joy comes from serving Jesus.
I need to be intentional about making sure my life decisions line up with my purpose for living. If I understand my purpose, everything else I do will grow out of that. It doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy this life because the Bible says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above…”. God desires for his creation to delight in our blessings here on earth- the beauty in nature, delicious food, a loving family, and close friends… and the list could go on. Still, I need to remind myself, above all else, that my life is to glorify and point others to Him. I want to be passionate about making Him known because this is my purpose.
Be encouraged,
Erin

The BEST WEEK with the best of friends! ❤️ The cousins adore each other and being with my sister again felt like heaven! 😍 We played hard, ate a lot, laughed and slept, (oh! Wait, we didn`t do a lot of that! 😂) So grateful for times like these! @bobby_torilayne_smith

Grandpa Paine, we miss you so much. 💔 Heaven will be sweeter because you are there. We’ve shed many tears, but we are so grateful for the legacy you left. You were a beautiful reflection of Christ in your life and ministry. You served as a doctor on the mission field for most of your life and gave everything you had to help others. We love you so much and look forward to seeing you again one day, but until then, we will hold tight to the memories. ❤️🩹
✨I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to talk to Grandpa about his life story. It was inspiring and nothing short of miraculous. I am so happy our children will be able to hear it in his own words. (See our YouTube if you would like to view). His testimony will build your faith. ❤️

Happy 8th Birthday, Brooklyn Elise! ❤️ You are full of energy and life. You love people deeply and you love the Lord. Your journals reflect how tender and beautiful your heart is. You love to write. You are organized and thrive when you’re following a schedule. Singing has become one of your favorite things to do, and I am just so proud of the girl you are. You are precious to all of us and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to use you this year. Keep smiling, sweet girl, and keep bringing joy to those around you! ❤️ You are so loved!

Spent a few days in Oklahoma for the last Paine wedding (they are all married off now!) ☺️Such a whirlwind of a trip, but we enjoyed every minute with family catching up on life. ❤️ I wish we could all just live in the same town. It’s so hard not being close to family, but it makes us all the more grateful for times like these! ❤️ Now to get back to the three we left…this Mama can’t be gone long from her babies! 😍 #PaineWedding #family #Oklahoma #togetheragain
