So, if His will is not why God cares about my job, then what is it? God cares about my job the way a father cares about his child’s development. God wants me to do something that challenges me to be the best I can be, that brings me joy, that I find meaningful and that will foster love. He wants these things for me because it delights him when I am thriving and disheartens him when I am not. He will disapprove of certain jobs only when they keep me from His grace.
He wants to use me for His kingdom through my work, not in spite of it. He doesn’t care about my job for the job’s sake, but for my sake. Because this is true, we can simultaneously reject the fear of having the “wrong job,” and embrace the fact that God deeply and intimately cares about the job I have.
