Purpose

One of the most poignant moments in Blue Beetle has to do with Jaime Reyes finding his purpose in life. Granted, the scarab and his role as a superhero are literally thrust upon him. Still, he is forced to make the decision to discover his full potential in life.

Many of us desire the ‘action adventure’ we see in many films, even though we probably wouldn’t want a symbiotic being living inside us. Yet, this escapism continues to drive Hollywood, and we may even wish for this to occur in our lives on some level. We are all looking for purpose, and most of us think it is somewhere outside of our grasp.

Instead, why not look at life as a gift?

Each day is an opportunity to live. Why not see amongst the mundane aspects of life the adventure that comes with each new morning. The Bible shows that each day is a gift for us to accept and utilise.

What are you doing with the life you’ve been given?

“For to the one who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and reaping, only to give to one who pleases God.” - Ecclesiastes 2:26 (ESV)
