Day 6

 What's the meaning of life?

Often many people wonder about that? Is there a meaning and purpose in life? The answer is, yes, there is a meaning and purpose in life if you know where to look for it.

We need to understand that often we have a stagnant spirit due to a secularized spirituality or even no spirituality at all. This causes us to run after emptiness. Trying our best to make the best of our lives by earning a lot of money, seeking affirmation in people, seeking love in human relationships. All these will eventually lead us to emptiness because it doesn't fill what is most important, our soul. 

We need to recognize that our physical body and the world we live in is temporal. What happens when life ends? Our lives can end in just a blink of an eye. So then, what do we pursue? 

Pursue what is eternal, something that cannot be taken away from us. Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour is eternal. 

Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour is eternal "and He is before all things, and in him all things hold together" (Col 1:17). In Habakkuk 1:5 we are reminded to "look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told."

Dear friends, my prayer for all of us is to turn our eyes away from ourselves and look at this world through the eyes of God and see the eternal work that He is doing. He is the one at work, not us, we just have to be a part of it.
