Faith & Purpose Today
A Daily Devotional By Larry
You Are Not Here by Accident
November 18th, 2025.
Acts 13:36 (NIV) – “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.”
Every believer is born with divine intent. You are not a random presence in your city, your church, or your generation. God has a specific assignment for you, and He has placed you exactly where you need to be to fulfill it. Acts 13:36 tells us that David served God’s purpose in his generation. He didn’t just live—he fulfilled. He didn’t just exist—he executed.
This is the call on your life. You are here because God had something in mind for this location, at this time, and He saw fit to call you to do it. Your assignment is not secular—it is spiritual. And spiritual work must be done in the spirit. Jesus said in John 4:23–24 that true worshipers must worship in spirit and truth. This applies not only to worship but to all spiritual service. You cannot fulfill a divine assignment in human strength.
God’s purpose for your generation is not vague. It is specific, and it requires spiritual sensitivity. David was a king, a warrior, a worshiper—but above all, he was a servant of God’s purpose. He aligned his life with heaven’s agenda. That’s what made him effective.
You are called to serve your generation. That means your life must be more than survival—it must be service. Your gifts, your voice, your presence—they are tools in God’s hands. But to be effective, you must be spiritual. You must be tuned into what the Spirit is saying and doing.
This devotional series will explore what it means to be spiritual, how to develop spiritual maturity, and how to walk in the Spirit to fulfill your calling. But today, start with this truth: You are not here by accident. You are here by assignment.
Prayer
Father, thank You for calling me to serve Your purpose in my generation. Help me to see my life as a divine assignment. Teach me to walk in the Spirit and fulfill what You’ve placed me here to do. I surrender my plans to Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Reflection Question
What specific evidence in your life confirms that you are here by divine assignment—and how are you responding to it?
