Thinking about my career today, what it is I am aiming for, and why. When I really break it down, I'm looking for less pressure (peace?), more security (safety?), and greater responsibility (purpose?). I'm looking for that perfect career that makes life worth living.
It is possible to ask a question to someone who cannot answer it. It is possible to seek fulfillment and meaning in places, that cannot provide it. One proverb that I find most challenging, even disconcerting, says, 'If we seek faith, love and righteousness, we find life, prosperity and honor.' (Proverbs 21:21) Most of us seek 'life, prosperity and honor' (the 'American Dream'?), but never find it when we seek it. God, through his Word, is saying that 'life, prosperity and honor' - the real ones - are in the wake of pursuing 'faith, love and righteousness.'
