I love the board game LIFE. As you travel around the board trying to get to retirement you get to "experience" the crazy ride of life. For example: getting married, have a baby, mid-life crisis, family vacation, etc.
Like the game of LIFE, real life can be a crazy and eventful ride sometimes, but unlike the game of LIFE we don't just wander around the board until we make it to the end. As a believer in Jesus Christ our purpose in life is so much more then that.
What is our purpose in life? Well let's grab a LIFE Chip and see:
LIFE Chip #1:
"So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
We were created to bring glory to God in everything we do. Whether you are eating, drinking, sleeping, working, doing homework, watching TV...we need to be sure that it's glorifying to God.
Let's grab our second LIFE Chip and see the next one:
LIFE Chip #2:
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
We also need to be willing to be used by God. God has given us special talents and gifts that He wants us to use for His purpose and His glory. We need to be using those gifts for Him and not ourselves.
We can also glorify God by doing what He asks us to do.
Alright, let's look at our third and final LIFE Chip:
LIFE Chip #3:
"For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
God has a special plan for our lives. We aren't just aimlessly roaming a game board trying to get to the end. We are working towards a goal: to glorify God in all that we do and to strive to be more and more like Him everyday.
