Biblical Answer

Can I still have a sense of purpose if I can't work?

As Christians, we often associate purpose with work and productivity. However, the Bible teaches us that our purpose is not solely defined by our occupation or abilities. In fact, Jesus Christ calls us to Himself, and our purpose is rooted in our relationship with Him (John 15:16). Our purpose is not just about what we do, but about who we are in Christ and how we live out our faith in Him.

The Bible also teaches that our purpose is not just about achieving a specific goal or outcome, but about enjoying God and taking pleasure in Him (Psalm 37:4). Our purpose is not just about what we achieve, but about who we are in relation to God. This means that even if we are unable to work, we can still have a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives. We can still enjoy God, take pleasure in Him, and live out our faith in Him. Our purpose is not defined by our circumstances, but by our relationship with God.

In fact, the Bible teaches that our purpose is not just about what we do, but about how we respond to God's sovereignty and providence in our lives. Even in times of difficulty or hardship, we can still have a sense of purpose and meaning because we know that God is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Our purpose is not just about what we achieve, but about how we trust and obey God in the midst of our circumstances. So, even if we are unable to work, we can still have a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives because our purpose is rooted in our relationship with God.
