The so called, "man" is built in God's image. He specifically say's our image. Maybe this means his image along with the angels of heaven. This post along with this whole blog is about me growing, learning and becoming stronger. In order for me to become stronger my faith needs a lot of work. A challenge.. a challenge I have to be up for. I have to go deeper into the bible and myself to get a whole new me. A 2.0 me. Turbo charged V12 me. Lol, in all seriousness I like adventure and in need of a journey.
The first thing I think of is the order that a man should be operate in. Women, children friends, work, hobbies, wants, etc. Before today I always though man was made to reproduce. To be with a woman and have children, work enjoy hobbies, the the house on the hill with the white picketed fence but looking into by bible today I since a different order.
In Genesis Chapter 2 verse 15 God brings up man and gave him his first duty, " and the lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress is it and to keep it." I believe God used the word DRESS in the terms of work. So as a man we shall work. We shall work not just for ourselves, but for others. It cannot be about the money but the service we do. One man may mange the garden, one man the roads, one man makes the clothes another the car. Not the guy I'm guessing that uses these professions for a income because once he finds something else making more income he is gone. The man that loves these professions is the man dressing the job
If God use DRESS in terms of work, how about we go deeper into work and not just for it's face value. When we think of work maybe, we shall be thinking of purpose. Purpose, let's dive deeper into the word purpose so we can be clear.
PURPOSE:
Noun....
- The reason for which something exist or is done, made, used, etc.
- An intended or desired result; end; aim; goal.
- Determination; resoluteness
So as I write this and learn this at the same time I'm looking at this backwards or reverse engineer the numerical order given by the Explore Dictionary.com.
As I feel this pull and change coming into my life I have in the pit of my stomach an urge of something to be determined about. A deeper determination to my family and friends but more importantly, a calling on my life. In that determination I have, we as men have to be diligent in the quest for our greatness. Mans determination needs a desired result to run after. A endgame or a goal for himself to achieve. Something to aim for is mandatory. That something we aim for when in tune with our calling with be the reason for which we as man exist.
