The career you choose will set your course in life. A dream-seed is sovereignly deposited in each of us very early in life. It connects us to our destiny. Children dream of what they will become when they grow up. Their dreams may take them on fantasies of becoming a fireman one week and a policeman the next. But ultimately, our dreams take us to a specific passion.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep the streets even as Michael Angelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep the streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” The important thing is that wherever your vocation takes you; make sure you are following your dreams.
I Timothy 5:18 (NKJV)
“The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
