 Proverbs 11:28 (MSG) “Depend on your own wealth and you’ll fall, but those who trust in God’s ways will thrive like a tree in bloom.”   One of the greatest questions we ask in life is, “Why am I here?” What’s My Purpose in Life? Many people spend years chasing success, money, or recognition, only to discover that these things cannot give lasting meaning. The Bible reminds us that true purpose is not found in what we possess, but in whom we trust. Proverbs tell us that those who rely only on riches will fall, but those who trust in the Lord will flourish. Jeremiah paints a powerful picture of a life rooted in God—like a tree planted by water, unafraid of heat, drought, or storms. When our roots go deep into God’s Word and His presence, our lives produce fruit that lasts. Your purpose is not accidental. God designed you with intention, calling, and destiny. Whether on the highway, in the workplace, at home, or in ministry, your purpose is to know God, trust Him, and reflect His love to others. When you place your trust in the Lord, you don’t just exist—you thrive. And in that place of trust, your true purpose becomes clear. Jeremiah 17:7–8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord… He shall be like a tree planted by the waters…” God wants us to be blessed & highly favored in our life! The key to our purpose in life can be found in the Bible! We need to read it and study it everyday of our life and tell others about this man called Jesus that changed us into a brand new person. Then watch what He does!!!  “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12… Join us June 25,26,27,28 @ 107 Sycamore St. Keenes, IL.

Gary RayburnI logged over 4 million miles as a truck driver from 1972 - 2007 and I have written a lot of it in my songs. God has taken me off the road and put me into full time ministry, but I still have a heart for all you drivers out there. Archives
