Are you limiting your lifework?
When we want only to follow God’s direction, our lifework unfolds and is governed by wisdom and Love.
Immediately. That’s how the Bible describes the change of priorities made by the fishermen called by Christ Jesus. He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19–22), and they left their nets at once.
Peter and his brother Andrew received Jesus’ calling, as did brothers James and John, who worked with their father, Zebedee, in a fishing business large enough to employ hired hands. Their response to Jesus’ call was lightning fast and decisive: “They immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.” They learned about Christian healing and became some of Jesus’ earliest followers and most faithful disciples.
Often, career changes are carefully planned and gradual. Imagine what it took back then, or would take today, to have such a sudden change of priorities.
