when you feel like your life has no meaning or purpose
I too have been at the point where things seem so pointless, but focusing on the sovereignty of God has greatly encouraged me. What I mean is this: First of all, the whole purpose of life, of all of history is to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31, Col. 3:17, and 1 Pet. 4:11). God will be magnified in the end by this great, massive grand scheme, which He has crafted from eternity. That means that even in our simple acts of eating and praying, we bring Him glory. My simple life is a sacrifice unto God, whether I do some great deed or simply follow Him in my simple daily life, that He may be even in some small way be glorified. We live for God in everything, and I am floored that he has shed grace upon grace on me who showed nothing short of hatred for Him. don't get me wrong; I was no raging heathen. I have no remarkable story where I was a great and terrible sinner. I was a "good kid" as far as anyone other than God and me could see, but the point is that even in this my most boring of all lives that anyone could have, God is glorified! There is no greater joy than to know that God was (in spite of me) actually pleased to save me! That, my friend and brother, is the whole point of living. Even in this, my boring day of this, my boring (and jobless :P) life, God will be glorified!
