What is "the point"?

Before anyone gets worked up or worried, I don't mean to living or life itself...but lately I have been asking myself this question.

What is the point of saying you will do something if you never do it?
Or a slightly different variation, what is the point of believing someone is going to do what the say, if they rarely do?

Yet another variation becomes what is the point trying to understand why or what God is telling you if may never know this side of Heaven?

And that is where I rest lately. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out "the point" lately, and I am pretty sure it is a waste of my time. How does me knowing "the point" make my life more reflective of His to those around me? How does it keep my mind focus on the fact that salvation hangs in the balance all around me?

But yet, my soul grows restless not knowing what "the point" God is trying to communicate to me through the circumstances all around me.

Is it a test of faith?

Is it a distraction?

Is it a battle of wills (which by the way I think I might could have the edge on the Big Guy in this department...)?

And then today, through the migraine (a reminder of how I deal with stress and change) came a still, small voice.....

What the hell does all that nonsense matter?

And maybe that is just the wake up call I needed.....
