Life on “autopilot” makes us drift, so 1 Peter 4:7–11 calls us to live on purpose: serve with urgency because time is short, serve with love that shows up in actions, serve through the gifts and passions God already put in you, and serve for one reason—to point people to Jesus. We weren’t designed to warm the bench but to do good that helps others and glorifies God. So ask what you’re doing for God and for people—then do it today, not someday.

We were built to belong. Stuff, status, and busyness can’t replace people. Real community makes us stronger, helps us grow, and holds us up when life gets heavy—like a braided cord that won’t snap under pressure. The challenge? Get off autopilot, find your people, and be that person for someone else.
