Day Twenty-Seven Forty Days of Focus: Relationships

Is your job more of an occupation or a vocation? Do you know the difference? An occupation is what you do to make money to pay the bills. It's an obligation; a necessary evil. It's not that you can't enjoy what you do as an occupation, but it's rare. Most people don't look forward to Monday, they look forward to Friday. That's work as an occupation. A vocation is a different matter. It's more of a calling than an obligation. A vocation takes into account God's sovereign will and sees purpose in it. Work becomes worship. It has great meaning and significance. When you invite God to speak into your work world and tell you where to work, you will find that your Monday is a vocational experience. God will be in the details of every day. How much money you make will match what you need, no more and no less.
