Why does your life and my life often trend toward that which is trivial? Because the default mode of the human heart is bent toward triviality. Unless intentional action is taken, you are always going to lean in the direction of pursuing that which is trivial. But what if there were some kind of work-around, intentional reset, or deliberate action on your part to move away from triviality to a life of meaning and purpose? Here's the good news: you are not destined to live a life of futility but a life of consequence as you engage the critical aspects of life on a day-to-day basis. God is not a trivial God, nor did He create humans for a life of triviality. He has intervened through the person of Jesus Christ who came to restructure your life from the inside out. Now, through faith in Jesus, you can live a God-consumed life in all that you do to the glory of the Father.
