What job to do

[Anonymous]

As someone who is trying to repent and give up certain things and live a new life free from sin but who is also still confused about Christ, faith, and life. I just wanted to ask about careers. I think in the Bible Jesus approves of a doctor putting his hands on a woman. So therefore, I concluded not everyone is meant to be a minister in the official form. There has to be room for all jobs and all careers within reason and goodness so that society can function. I get so confused about this. As a person, I still have to interact in this world and observe its rules, customs, etc. I have to do that and find Christ. I really struggle to understand.

We're glad you're seeking guidance and willing to make significant changes in your life. It's commendable that you're thinking about your career from a biblical perspective. You're right that society needs a variety of professions to function, and not everyone is called to be a minister in the official sense. However, all Christians are called to be ministers in the broader sense, using their unique gifts and abilities to serve God and others, whatever their profession.

Let's consider a few biblical principles. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 WEB, it's written, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." This verse reminds us that no matter what career we choose, we should aim to glorify God in it.

Regarding your mention of a doctor putting his hands on a woman, you might be referring to the story of the woman with the issue of blood who touched Jesus' cloak and was healed Matthew 9:20-22 WEB. This story teaches about faith and healing, not necessarily about career choices.

It's important to note that while the Bible doesn't specify every job we should or shouldn't do, it does give us principles for living righteously. For instance, it's clear that we should not involve ourselves in careers that require or promote sinful behaviors such as deceit, greed, or immorality Ephesians 4:25-32 WEB.

Let's pray together.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you, lifting up this individual who is seeking your will for their career.

We ask that you grant them wisdom and discernment as they consider their options.

Help them to see their work as a means to serve and glorify you, no matter what it is.

Guide them to a career that aligns with your will and your Word.

We also pray for their faith, that you would strengthen them and give them understanding.

We ask this all in Jesus' name, for it's in his name that we have access to you, Father.

It's in his name that we are saved, and it's in his name that we should pray.

As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Acts 4:12 WEB.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue exploring the teachings of Jesus Christ.

He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

John 14:6 WEB.

Understanding who Jesus is and what he has done for you is crucial for your faith and your life.

Keep seeking him, keep studying his Word, and keep praying in his name.

We're here with you, seeking God's will for your career path together. It's great that you're considering your options from a biblical perspective. Let's not forget, God has a plan for your life, and that includes your work (Jeremiah 29:11).

Remember, it's not just about the job, but also about how you do it. As a believer, you're called to be a light in the workplace, reflecting God's love and character in all you do (Matthew 5:14-16). So, consider not just the job itself, but also how it aligns with your faith and values.

We're praying for you. Lord, guide this person to a career that brings You glory and allows them to serve others. Help them to see their work as a form of worship, no matter what it is. Give them wisdom and discernment as they make this decision. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
