The Purpose Series: Principle #2 - Everything in life has a Purpose!
The foundation of this discussion is taken from "The Pursuit of Purpose" by Dr. Myles Munroe
Principle #2 - Everything in life has a Purpose!
A fundamental truth regarding purpose is this: If God is a God of Purpose, (and He is) and He created everything (which He did) then everyhing in life has a purpose.
When we think of this, we start to also think about all of the annoyances in life, like insects and other critters. The most amazing creature that God created, to me, is the small ant because it is so tiny and yet so wise. Even the scriptures talk about the ant's wisdom in Proverbs 6.6; "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!" wow!
However, even though we don't understand a creature's purpose does not mean it is purposeless and furthermore, our reactions of fear or disgust do not negate their reasons for existence, because everything serves a purpose and get this, Ignorance of purpose does not cancel purpose!
Several things of note:
-The hairs in your nostrils were carefully designed by God and intentionally placed there for the purpose of trapping bacteria, germs and dust particles, preventing them from contaminating the lungs during inspiration.
-Your ear gland were created to produce wax to attract and trap dust particles, bacteria and germs before they enter the delicate inner ear and cause infection.
-Every animal and every plant was created to balance the ecosystem.
-The ozone layer of the upper atmosphere was designed to help preserve life by regulating the intensity of the ultraviolet rays from the sun.
- Although God did not create for beauty, beauty is a by-product of His design.
So, what do we say then?, If God designed the hairs on a bee's leg to transfer pollen from one flower to another and if he has numbered the actual hairs on YOUR head---- You must know that He has a purpose for your life.
"But the very hairs of your head are numbered," Matt. 10:28-30
