Working for God

I was just watching (half-watching really) a show called "God or The Girl," a reality show about young Christian men debating joining the priesthood or not. One of the young men, age 21, decided he was going to go to seminary and continue working for God. I just loved that phrase "Working for God." I've always wanted to run my own company or at least be a free agent, but now I really enjoy working for God. I find that there is more fulfillment in that.

Now God’s company has a position for everyone hired. Imaging going to an interview where you’re hired just for being you and agreeing the Boss has a son and agreeing that He’s who He says He is?

Think about it. Everyone knows your Boss, and his authority is questioned only by the foolish (in my experience). He's really forgiving (i.e. it takes a lot for you to get fired, because if God fires you, you're screwed).

It also simplifies my life. I just ask myself, is what I'm doing what my boss (God) hired me to do (purpose)? If not, I drop it and refocus. It takes discipline though.

The pay is also pretty good. You pretty much get what you ask for, if the Boss approves it. And He encourages those who work for Him to ask. The benefits are great too, including retirement in eternity.
