Today we’re going to be talking about making money doing something that’s not “your calling” or your business.
There’s a common mistake in thinking around this that can cause you to stumble as you pursue your calling.
While God has indeed given you a calling and you should pursue that, if we fixate on that calling and only doing things that align with it, then we can lose sight of other things that God has called us to do and Biblical principles that we should follow.
You may easily find yourself in a mindset cycle between desperation and idleness. Both of these create a panic and a fixation on money and fuel a scarcity mindset making it hard to focus on your business in a way that’s healthy. Instead, everything revolves around money including your business choices and you become stressed and irritable with your family as well.
And the crazy thing is, this all makes sense when we start to lose sight of how God views work and money or maybe we never really knew.
That’s what I want to share with you today.
In this episode, I am going to share with you what the Bible says about working, providing for yourself, having a job unrelated to your calling, and how you can apply this to your life right now.
As I went through this myself, I was really surprised to see this as I studied God’s word. Most of all, it gave relief and clarity to my actions. No more guilt and shame around working or not working when I could finally get clear on how God sees things. His word is a guide for us in everything and I hope you get clarity and peace from this lesson today.
