Daily Routine

Are you bored in doing the same thing everyday? Sometimes we might be tired of doing the same thing everyday. People will give up and find other things to do while others choose to stay because they have no choice. What if you realize that doing the same thing is actually a blessing from God?

King Solomon felt the same thing in Eccelesiastes 2:17-26, where toil is meaningless:

"So I hated life, because the work that is done -under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."

But He the realize that having these routines are actually a blessing from God. Being able to wake up, eat, clean, study and work are blessings because we are still alive and doing these things to gain wisdom and earn money. He emphasized that if we honor God, He will blessed you and give you knowledge, wisdom and happiness.

So, look around you and realized that no matter how we faced different trials everyday in life, we are blessed. Always be thankful for everything you have and pray to God and be grateful.
