Most of us if we will be honest have our preferences. There is nothing wrong with having preferences. I prefer to wear black over every other color. I prefer to stay up late and sleep until 7:30 AM. That's what my flesh tells me to do. However there is a higher form of life. There is a life above preference that pulls out of us and brings us to the forefront in others more than what is humanly natural; it pulls front and forward the supernatural.
There is a way that seems right to man but in the end it is death. I may not have quoted it perfectly but I tell myself that statement everyday. I need the power of others in my life to make the best decisions and be the best me. Esther needed a Mordecai, Moses needed a Pharaoh if only for a little while in order to be trained, Joseph had to spend some time in a place after the pit to get some training he would have missed hanging out with those brothers of his.
Who is sitting at your table? Who are you allowing to direct your decisions? May I suggest that you allow someone whose name alone means warrior and worshiper. May I suggest you allow those that step in when everyone else steps out or steps on to make sure things go well with you from the other side of the gate.

Purpose for our lives is what Jesus purchased for us. Preference is what got us in trouble in the garden in the first place. Preference is what others can observe about you. Purpose is what God put in you. Preference is what you would pick for yourself. Purpose is what you must allow God to chose for you.
So today who is going to get their way? You or God? The choice is always yours.
