A Job – I feel the need to write
short articles to help young people find their way in this world.
Question1 " What job should
I do?"
Let the Apostle Paul give us a
clue
"learn to maintain good works for necessary
uses." Titus 3:14 KJV
As a teenager, I passed the exam
to become a telephone technician and this question presented itself – was a
telephone a necessary part of life?
Paul himself was quite academic,
but first learned to be a tentmaker. So he says: "Settle down, and get to
work. Earn your own living" 2 Thessalonians 3:12
For some a chosen career may lead
to useful service for God. For many the employment, career may change if we
stumble, and if we submit to the leading of God. Trusting HIM is more important
than the perfect job.
Most important is to answer the
question – 'why do I want a particular job?' – for myself, for others, or for
the Lord Jesus.
Remember Jesus became a carpenter,
but that was not the significant part of His life. Rather, in the Father's good
time, He laid down the hammer and began teaching, healing and laying down His
life for others.
Pause and pray, God still speaks
to those who take the time to listen.
