You do have a bigger purpose in life. Your life is not in vain. You are part of something greater than you have ever imagined.

I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations… (Isaiah 42:6 ESV)

Sometimes it’s easy to fall into the trap of insignificance.

We wake up every morning to the same routine and we slowly begin to think, “What’s the point?”

Our lives are mundane and nothing ever seems to change. Yet, it is in times like these that we should be reminded of who our God. Our God called us to be set aside by sending His one and only to walk among us in the mundane. Our “righteousness” (read: salvation) was given to us by Jesus’ life among people who had schedules to keep.

Jesus’ death and resurrection on the cross supernaturally makes our everyday a reason for being. Your daily activities, your coming and going, that is not for the sake of filling up void time. Rather, it is for you to display the purpose of your being: to be God’s light to a dark and lost world.

I know it’s easy for me to speak in such conjecture and in abstract theories, but the reality is this: people who interact with you every single day look forward to your mundane routine because you quite possibly may be the only positive interaction they have.

When you think about it this way, your routines, your activities, your life, are God’s conduits for His love to manifest into the world.
