Which Way Do I Go?

The other day I was pondering my work situation and whether or not I should be there. What direction should I go? Do I just chuck it all and wander about, and several other crazy things.  My job is not exactly the most Christian oriented.  Many of the values it promotes are anti-Christian and discussion about faith is suppressed.  It’s been something on my mind as to whether or not I should be working in such an environment.  Am I actually helping to promote an anti-Christian system by assisting in its functioning?


Those are some tough thoughts, and the implications that could arise from the answers would certainly be life altering.  I don’t have a great job, but in this day and age, I really do have a good job.  I get paid more than many and have benefits that many don’t get.  The job has let me live a pretty decent lifestyle.  But, we are not supposed to look at the carnal, are we?  We should not trade principles of God for earthly gain.


I sometimes feel the call like that of Abram.  Get thee up out of thy house and thy kindred and go to a place that I will show you.  I’ve always been kind of a wanderer and there is a bit of romantic appeal to this for me.  I’ve been homeless and broke though and I know what that is like and how unromantic it really is.  Still, if that is what God calls you to, He will provide.  This I know from experience too.  I’m just not quite sure about whether this is for me or not.


On the other hand, I look at Joseph.  Although he did not really have a choice in the matter, he found himself working in places that were extremely against God and His ways; first at the captain of the guards, then as a prisoner, and finally ruling over an ungodly nation.  All the while that he was doing his work, he never compromised his principles between he and God.  He worked hard, accurate, and honestly.  God blessed everything Joseph did because of his faithfulness.  In every situation he found himself in, he was promoted over time to a position of leadership as others saw his hard and honest work, and the blessing god bestowed upon that work.  It was not quick progression, but one that took years, all the while being faithful to God to carry out his duties as best he could so as to honor God.  I’m just not sure about whether this is for me or not.


I think back to my early days as a Christian and how I was prophesied as a minister of God and trained in that.  Is that the direction I am going?  I’m not even sure how to get there.  Am I to end up having a church?  Is this here kind of like my church?  What is God preparing me for?  Where is this blog even going?  Lol


Mainly I suppose it is that we need to be obedient in the small things.  If we tell the truth, help others, love, do our work as unto God, be obedient; eventually we will find out the answers we have about what is to occur.  We have to trust God that he has our futures in control and we need to just be obedient day by day.
