I enjoy the verses that you wrote from and I appreciate your interpretation and application of them. I agree with everything you said, and I want to add something that falls in line with what you said.

You say: “But the greater idea here is that everything we do should have a purpose.” Yes, and I’ve heard it said from a Christian sister - “Be intentional. Be intentional with your time.” Even if you’re going to meet a friend at a coffee shop or go shopping together, your time should be purposefully spent, whether that be to encourage, to be encouraged, to challenge in the faith or vice versa, or even more of a myriad of reasons.

Henry David Thoreau has said that we should not wish to “kill time” because it will surely affect more than that day that we are killing, it will affect our whole lives.

There is so much to accomplish for God, we cannot be lazy!

Props brother!
