I have a lot of questions in my mind. I really try hard to get the answer I am seeking. I ask a preacher, ask my spiritual leader yet I am not satisfied. I am really wondering why God seems so silence. One morning while I was reading my bible, I found that God's actually has already given me the answer. I am the one who not listening.

It is said in 1 Kings 19:11-13 :

The Lord Appears to Elijah

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

The point I learnt is the quietness. I am too busy to find the answer. I rely on my own understanding, while I know that God ask me not to rely on my understanding (psalm 3:5). Not like what I thought, God speaks in a gentle whisper. To hear His voice, no other way but be still in silence.

So many times I am trapped in my routines, I am busy with my daily activity. I pray and expect God to answer, but I never take a special quiet moment with Him. A moment where I sit down in His feet, in the silence where He can say what He is going to say, the answer I am longing for.

What's your purpose of life?

This July was started with a news from a friend of mine. His grandfather has just passed away and I have a chance to come to his cemetary. For me, whenever I come to the funeral, it always takes me to the reflection. Life is so unpredictable. As a human, I never know when my life come to the end. Peoples were born and die. From a dust, back to ash, came and back with nothing in hands. The circle turn around and around. Then what is the purpose of life? If life was so meaningless like that, why do we have to live?

These questions filled my mind.

I remember the Bible said that life is not a simply life. There is a PURPOSE God put in our life. There is an agenda that we should meet. I believe the agenda is not merely an agenda. It does not lies on what we can achieve or collect. It also does not depend on how much money we have. Beyond all of that, there is an agenda, a good work He's set for everyone.

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."(Ephesians 2:10, NIV)

From the begining, God is preparing our life to do something. He put talent(s), wealth, health, relationship, and everything in our life for a divine purpose. A purpose to reveal His Mighty, to show His love and mercy, and to make known His faithfulness.

As knife created to cut, it reaches its maximum capacity when it's used as it's designed for. As well as our life, life will be meaningful when we live the life designed for us, to finish the agenda that God has put in our life,to fulfill His purpose, and to live His calling.

Prayer:

Dear God, I believe that You have set me to do something for Your purpose. Give a wisdom to know what is Your plan in my life, and give me a gentle heart to obey what You wants me to be.
