Question:
Is there such a thing as a “call to business?” How can I know if I have
such a call?
Answer:
Is there such a thing as a call to business? Normally, we think of that
term being used with “a call to ministry” or “a call to some form of
service,” but I realize that in my own case, I had a call to business
that was just as real, just as authentic as a call to any other kind of
ministry. When I realized that, I was able to work with my whole
heart, as unto the Lord, in a business setting.
So, yes, I believe there is a call, and that we’ll know when that call
exists when we have the kind of sense of excitement, when we have a
drawing to something, where we feel that we can be passionate about
working in a particular arena.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s business, or the arts, or music, or any
kind of legitimate profession. If it’s a call of God, it’s a worthy call.
