God wants us not only to work hard and earn our money, but to work in a calling. You may wonder what I mean when I say your work is to be a calling. Some think that it is only preachers and missionaries who are called by God to do what they do. But a calling can be any type of work as long as it is done according to God's will for you and done as unto Him. God has a calling for every Christian, and it is up to us to seek His will and find out what it is.
Some people merely go out and hunt for a job that makes good money or has social prestige.
But God wants us to seek to work in a calling that is His will. Some people are afraid to ask God what it is that He wants them to do in life. They are certain that God would want them to be a missionary. But this is simply not true. It may be that the job you are in is the job you are called by God to do.
