"But I said, "I have laboured to no purpose; I have spent my
strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the
Lord's hand, and my reward is with my God." - (Isaiah 49:4)
Have you ever felt like you're spending your life using your
talent for nothing? Life is often spent doing mundane activities
that seem to have little eternal purpose.
The great prophet Isaiah was struggling with his own purpose. He
knew he was chosen to be a voice for God, yet life became
purposeless for Isaiah. We all go through periods when our
purpose seems to be clouded with the mundane. We see little
meaning in life. On the other hand, Isaiah didn't stay in this
place. We read in this passage that he knew the truth of his
existence. He could look past his present circumstance and know
that his real reward and purpose would be revealed in eternity.
He knew that God was just and fair, so he placed his faith on
this truth.
When life appears to lack meaning and purpose, remember that if
you devote your life to the purposes He has for you, the fruits
of your labour will be manifested in due time. "The one who calls
you is faithful and He will do it" (1 Thess. 5:24).
