Your Question:
What's the purpose of life when everything falls apart?
Answer:
As I reflect on the purpose of life, I'm reminded of what the Bible says - that we were created by God for His own glory. This is the major purpose of our lives, and it's what gives us direction and meaning. According to Scripture, our purpose is to glorify God, and when we do that, we also get to enjoy Him and take joy in our relationship with Him. When everything falls apart, it's easy to lose sight of this purpose. It's tempting to think that life is meaningless, that we're just a product of chance and time, and that our existence is without any eternal importance. But the Bible says otherwise. It says that the whole universe was made for Christ, and that everything is to be gathered together in Him. This gives us hope, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. As a pastor, I've seen people struggle with the question of purpose when everything falls apart. But I believe that our purpose is not just to survive or to make our own meaning, but to glorify God and enjoy Him in the midst of all that's happening. This doesn't mean that life is easy or that we won't face challenges, but it means that we have a reason to keep going, even when everything else seems to be falling apart.
