Living with Purpose

Do you ever stop and think about how you’re using your time and energy?

As Paul closes out this theme, he keeps coming back to the same idea.

“Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good… and not live unproductive lives.” (Titus 3:14, NIV)

There’s a sense of direction in that. Our lives are meant to be shaped around something meaningful.

Paul also writes: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works…” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV)

That means your life has purpose. Not just in a general sense, but in specific ways—through your gifts, your time, your opportunities.

This includes your work, your relationships, and the everyday spaces you move in.

It’s easy to drift into routine without thinking about it. Days fill up quickly. Weeks pass. But Scripture invites us to live more intentionally.

Not in a pressured way, but with awareness. Asking where our time is going, and what our lives are producing.

As we come to the end of this series, it’s worth stepping back and reflecting on the bigger picture. God has been at work, and He continues to be.

Reflection & Practice:
Take some time this week to reflect on how you’re currently using your time and energy.

Write down one area where you’d like to be more intentional. Then take a small, practical step in that direction.

Also, take a moment to thank God for what He has been doing in your life through this series.
