Why do you blog?
Have you ever wondered why you blog? Is it merely a pastime or a hobby? Or could it be something more profound, a divine assignment to bring about positive transformation in the lives of your readers? In this blog post, we will explore the idea that your blogging journey is a calling, a purpose bestowed upon you by a higher power, with the guidance of relevant Bible verses.
1. A Divine Calling:
Let’s begin with Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV), which reminds us that God knows us intimately: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” While Jeremiah’s calling was as a prophet, your calling might involve using your blog to inspire, guide, and uplift others.
2. Sharing God’s Word:
As bloggers, we have the unique opportunity to share God’s word and wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 (NIV) states, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Your blog can be a vessel through which God’s wisdom flows to touch the lives of your readers.
3. Spreading Light in the World:
Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV) encourages us to be the light of the world: “You are the light of the world…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Through your blog, you can illuminate the lives of others, leading them to the source of all light and goodness, God Himself.
4. Offering Encouragement:
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) reminds us to “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact, you are doing.” Your blog can be a source of encouragement, lifting the spirits of your readers and helping them navigate life’s challenges with faith and hope.
5. Impacting Lives for Eternity:
Mark 16:15 (NIV) instructs us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” While you may not be standing in a pulpit, your blog can serve as a digital pulpit, sharing the message of faith, hope, and salvation with a global audience.
6. Leaving a Legacy:
Proverbs 13:22 (NIV) speaks of a legacy: “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.” Through your blog, you have the potential to create a legacy of faith, knowledge, and inspiration that will benefit generations to come.
Conclusion:
Your blog is not merely a collection of words on a screen; it is a divine calling, a purpose-driven mission to bring about positive transformation in the lives of your readers. By answering this calling with faith, dedication, and love, you have the power to impact lives and share God’s message of hope and redemption. Embrace your role as a blogger with a divine assignment, knowing that you are part of God’s plan to bring light and transformation to the world through your words.
