]]> There is a common phrase that runs counterfeit to biblical wisdom. “You have to find yourself.” Many of us ask some hard identity questions, “who am I, where do I fit in, and how can I make a difference.” Israel had a similar struggle understanding who they were; first we must understand who God is (⁠Isaiah 43⁠). God knows you. Do not fear, you are precious to Him (⁠Numbers 6:23-27⁠). You are His Children and He has a new exodus planned for redemption (⁠Isaiah 43:14-32⁠). Not because Israel (nor you) are so worthy, but because God is so forgiving and so good (⁠Isaiah 43:22-28⁠). God has answers for you identity. You have purpose and you are loved (⁠Ephesians 1:7-10⁠).

Life is a journey, isn’t it? On the short journey to Emmaus Jesus listens to the disciples, He teaches them and then He reveals Himself (⁠Luke 24:1-12⁠). Let Jesus join your journey and He will do the same. Let confusion become clarity, despair turn to joy, and watch fear dissipate and be replaced by mission (⁠John 16:16-22⁠). Jesus will meet us on our road and give us meaning. Let Him lead.

]]> Job is a challenging book. He experienced suffering for no apparent reason (⁠Job 1:8-22⁠), though his friends are certain that he must have done something to deserve it (⁠Job 2:1-12⁠). In the end, God’s response is to remind him of the power, knowledge and sovereignty of God himself. But we are left without a satisfying reason for suffering and questions of justice. This is exactly how we experience much of suffering. Many questions are left. Job understands we are to trust and rest in knowing God is good and all-powerful. This is the lesson for us as well, for we know that God works all things for good according to His purpose (⁠Romans 8:28⁠).

Where do you draw meaning? The author of Ecclesiastes (Solomon) begins looking at the many world views that offer meaning and recognizes that all is futile without God.

First let’s ask, “Who are we?” We are rooted in the Bible as truth. We are Jesus is center. As Peter told Jesus, "To whom would we go? You have words of eternal life." Let us prayerfully consider what God is calling us to next - in bringing life abundant (Jn 10:10b).
