"For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep.
ACTS 13 : 36
One OF The GREATEST TRAGEDIES in life is to get very close to reaching your goal, accomplishng what you really felt God wanted you to do, only to fall short of completion. it's always sad to have to quit a few hundred meter short of the mountain top or get close to the finish line, only to give up.
Unrealize goals, unfulfilled ambitions, unreached potentials are not only sad but, at times tragic as well. "He was almost there," we say. Or with a sigh we speak of "the person he or she could have been!" Then we focus on what?" or "if only" scenario something that didn't happen.
A dream is often the faint impression of what God really intends you to accomplish, something that you must trust Him to bring about and work towards with all your might.
A thousand year after King David lived, Luke, one of the writers of the New Testament, includes a few thoughts about how David was remembered. He wrote, "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep..." (Acts13:36). Another translation adds a phrase that injects even more meaning. It reads "For when David had served God's, he fell asleep"
Measure your life against the benchmark of what Luke wrote about David. He served God's purpose and accomplished what God intended him to do.
Whatever God has called you to do is within yours grasp, and living out your calling will someday enable you to say, "I have fulfilled God's purpose and finished the task He gave me in life."
