For some people, this is the only way they know to live. To me, this is like the third servant who took the master s one talent and buried it into the ground. It is also too easy to live only for wealth, power and prestige. The Scriptures tell us neither are what the good and faithful servant does. Jesus tells us that we are responsible for our lives and what we do with our lives.
Many people seem to just stumble onto their life s journey.
Others plan using their powers of reason. God, though, can speak to us about what we are called to do. I was a lawyer for many years. While I was a lawyer, I felt that I was using the talents that God had given me, but then I heard a new call at an unexpected place and time. Now, as a missionary, I have to use other talents, some that I did not know I had.
