Greetings,
It’s so unfortunate that most of us have been taught to do our secular business first—and then God’s work later … if we can find the time.
Luke 2:49 (NKJV) – “And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
If Jesus put His Father’s business first, so should we. That was His calling and assignment. He understands our situation because for many years, He worked a job to support His ministry.
That’s how we should also look at life. We should live to fulfill our assignment, not just to survive from one day to the next. To discover your special assignment, you may have to change your thinking about why you even exist. Ask God what special calling He has for you. As with Jesus, there is a reason why you were born!
Spoiler alert: your employment isn’t your ultimate calling. It’s only a way to support whatever that calling might be. Your assignment is to do the Father’s business. Committing to it, and then placing God first, will bring His favor and blessings even upon your job.
Father, since you have a purpose and a plan for my life, help me discover what it is. I want to complete my assignment in this life. Bless my employment, for it is meant to provide the funds that I’ll need to fulfill my destiny and bring You glory!
Today, I am going way back to the Mississippi Children’s Choir and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
