It's absolutely imperative for each person to believe they have a clear, definable purpose for living. I'm not implying that there’s a noble destiny for you like God said to Pharaoh of Egypt through Moses: "I have raised you up for this purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
Still God has a purpose for everyone regardless of race or social standing, and that purpose will be revealed to you. Baruch Spinoza stated it clearly, "The knowledge and love of God is the ultimate aim from which all our actions should be directed." It is wise for this aim to be ranked first place on your agenda.
What we start out to be in life may get altered by events beyond our control. Looking back, can we see God was shaping our destiny for a good purpose? All of life takes us to a crossroads where we’re permitted to choose God's purpose and plan for us. What a blessing to know your destiny is in his hands!
For you have been chosen by God himself – you are
priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God’s very own – all this
so that you may show to others how God called you out of the darkness into his
wonderful light.
~1 Peter 2:9 The Living Bible
