What is the purpose of our life?
Are we living for the weekend?
Are we waiting for some party?
Or are we waiting for some other monumental event that gives our life meaning?
Do we even like living most of the time?
It seems like we are just passing time. It seems like we are just waiting for something to come along to make our miserable existence bearable.
That is what it seems like every Monday on Facebook.
Get on your preferred social media platform at the beginning of the week and see how many people hate the fact that it is Monday or Tuesday. These people just cannot wait for the weekend so that they can do it all over again.
Does this sound like living?
In Ephesians 4:1-3 Paul writes, "I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
What is the calling to which you have been called?
Is it to wait for the weekend? Is it to just barely get by?
How can one live this way and not feel like they are wasting their life?
If one is a follower of The Way, this kind of lifestyle is in direct conflict with the life one has been called to live. If as believers, we want to make an impact on this world in the manner that we have been called to do, living for the weekend does great harm to this goal.
Live everyday with purpose. Live everyday for the glory of God. Live everyday making an impact for the Kingdom and showing people what it actually means to be a Christian.
Live in such a way the we can get rid of the soiled name of "Christian."
Live a life that reflects Christ and glorifies Him.
Living for your weekend or your next big party does not do that.
Living for some other moment than the one you are currently in, does not do that.
Do not waste the current time.
Use this time to glorify God.
Use this time to point others to Him.
Use this time to enjoy every breath you have been given.
Use this time to live the great life we have been given.
Stop your waste.
