Why We Are Here

Scripture Neh 9:5 And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: “Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! “Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

Observation: I was just reading a book about Heaven by Greg Laurie and it was saying what the meaning of life is. Our meaning and purpose is to glorify God that’s it. If we made something we don’t make it for its own good but for ours, it is to serve a purpose for us. That is why God created us to serve, glorify and give Him praise. He loves us and our joy is only found in Him and until we stop trying to find pleasure everywhere else and start finding it in our Lord we’ll never find it.

Application: My days are full of thoughts, but most of them are about me and what I want or get out of life. I have my moments when I’m with God asking Him to change me into the person He desires, but that time should be my full focus instead of a few moments a day. I need to humble myself and realize I’m only here because God desires it so and that my life was designed to give Him joy.

Prayer: My Lord help me put you first in everything I do. My thoughts are mostly about what I want to do and worries about this life. I want to do nothing but bring you joy so please humble me before you and give me strength and the desire to glorify you.
