Living your life to how you were purposed to is important and something that needs to be considered. When someone lives a life purposed nothing else in life matters, but is included and has equal importance. Purpose driven life by Rick Warren is a powerful book and has essentials for one to enjoy living to the fullest in God. There some who live a life somewhat purpose, but have not experienced the fullness of Christ as Paul mentions in Ephesians 4:13. Living a purposed driven life includes a worry free life style. There is no thought for religious activities, personal interest, because with a purpose driven life style a natural perspective takes precedence. David said that in this path of purposed driven life there is fullness of joy (ps.16:11). It is a state of rest the purpose driven life it was called the Sabbath. And, God commanded Moses to write it on the Ten Commandments and it numbered number 4(ex20:8). God thought it important for his people to walk in a state of rest that was continual.

Mark 2:23-28
23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

But, at times some things come to light of which we purpose ourselves too; a relationship, a job, a career, a place, and instead the things that are around us being purposed for us we become their purpose. Jesus was confronted by these people whom when they saw his disciples chopping corn from the stalk and eating, became offended. Their idea was that man was created to practice the Sabbath, because it was the 4th commandment. During the Sabbath no one is supposed to work except for the priests. The bible class us a royal priest-hood(1pt2:9) and that we should show forth the praises of him that called us out of darkness. So, Jesus brings to their memory the time when David, after he was being chased by king Saul that he and his men went to the house of God and ate of the holy bread. Now, the only condition for which the priest gave the bread to David was if the men were separate or holy, and David affirmed. When we are separated from this world we can participate of the Lord’s rest(he4:1-3).
