As Christians, we are called to live out God's purpose in every aspect of our lives. However, the routines of daily life can sometimes overshadow our spiritual calling. While routines provide comfort, they can also numb us to the deeper meaning God intends for our lives.
It's easy to get caught up in mundane activities, whether it's binge-watching TV shows, scrolling through social media, or getting lost in work-related tasks. These habits can distract us from meaningful pursuits like spending quality time with family or deepening our relationship with God.
To rediscover meaning in our lives, we must shift our focus from mere activities to God's purpose. Ask questions of meaning:
- Of all that you do in your current role, what are the most meaning parts?
- In what, even small ways, do you live out your calling in your current role?
- If you were to design your ideal schedule, what would it look like?
- How might you incorporate elements of your ideal schedule into your current routine?
Meaningful relationships are also crucial to our spiritual growth. Reflect on the friendships that have strengthened your faith and consider how you can cultivate more Christ-centered connections.
- Think of two meaningful friendships. What made those friendships significant for you?
- Currently, with whom do you find the most meaning?
- What changes could you make to create more meaningful relationships?
By continually seeking God's purpose, we can transform routine into meaningful living, growing closer to Him in all we do.
Grace & Peace,
