A Pointless Existence?

II Corinthians 4:18 - As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.


Yesterday, my Pastor preached a message on Eternal Significance. What are you really living for? Yourself? Or God? Are you really giving 100% to the Lord? What am I living for? What's the point? All these questions were just floating around in my head during the message. Like, why am I getting my MBA? Why do I work hard at my job? Yes, I want a good career. I want the status - I'll be that honest. But....what should it profit a man if he has the whole world and loses his own soul? I really have no need for an MBA or promising career in business or money or...really anything....without it involving Jesus. 


I don't think that means God won't ever bless me with a good job / career or He won't ever let me finish my MBA...but I should be using all of this for His glory. Like, being a good testimony in front of my coworkers or inviting them to church, etc. Which is really hard! You know? You don't want to be pushy - you do have to work with these people and you spend more time at work than you do at home. But there is always opportunity if you pray for it.


So, I was really convicted to make sure I give God my all. I don't want to have a pointless existence. I don't want to waste my life on just a good career or a "just whatever." I want to make sure that the things I do with my life will matter eternally!
