Read UCB Word For Today 18th March 2025 Daily Devotional by United Christian Broadcasters
TOPIC: Know Your Purpose, Know Your Partners
‘As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’
John 20:21 NIV
In order to identify God’s will for your life, you must be clear about two things:
1) Your purpose. Facing the cross, Jesus said, ‘For this cause came I into the world’ (John 18:37 KJV). Your passion is that area of your life that fires you up. It might be world hunger, or neglected pensioners, or education. You see little kids growing up in underfunded areas, and they’re never going to have a chance to thrive, and it just kills you. Or unwed mums, or the gospel being proclaimed unclearly.
Instead of finding your passion in the area of your opportunities and your skills, sometimes you will find it in the area of your hurts and scars. From people who struggle with addictions, to those who have spent time in prison, to those who contend with emotional disorders – there are so many areas. God won’t waste a hurt.
2) Your partners. Jesus called twelve disciples, then He dispatched them on a brief mission two at a time so they could go together. So along with your passions and strengths and scars, you need people in your life who will encourage you, applaud you, and take part in what you are doing. Paul spells out his passion: ‘The longing of my heart…is for the people of Israel to be saved’ (Romans 10:1 NLT). Paul also knew his partners: ‘Every time I think of you, I give thanks…for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ’ (Philippians 1:3, 5 NLT).
So, the word for today is – know your purpose, know your partners.
