Hating Life

Scripture Job 7:16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.

Observation: That is how I spent most of the life God gave me, hating each day hoping that it would end. I spent more time thinking how to not go through another day that it was difficult to enjoy anything. My life had no meaning and I couldn’t figure out why I was even here at all. If you owned something that didn’t have a purpose, what would you do with it? You would throw it away. So when life has no purpose what would you do with it? Throw it away and that is what I did. However when I found out that my life has meaning and purpose I wanted to know how I was supposed to use it and so each day I ask the creator of this life how He might what to use it each day and live a life that would be worthy.

Application: It is still difficult at times to be positive and to wake up each morning wanting to be used by God. I still am a sinner and the enemy attempts to put negative thoughts in my mind each day, but I know I have a purpose as we all do and it’s to glorify God. I’m here to spread the word of God so others have the same opportunity I had and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. God has given me gifts and talents to use and has even given me instructions on how to use them and that is what I need to be doing. I need to try harder and realize my day is dedicated to God for His glory and not my use.

Prayer: My Lord I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be holy and pleasing to you. Help guide me this day and direct my path. Use me to fulfill the purpose you have created me for and that you will be glorified through this life. I love you Lord may this life reflect that.
