I am not sure if this is the best place to post this,but I will ask here.Does God care about what careers?As in,does God place a person in a career to fulfill his purpose in them? I am not looking to debate,but I am just wondering what the purpose of a Christian would be within whatever career they choose to pursue.
So I've never had a career, just a bunch of jobs that I hate, and continue to hate to this day. So full disclosure, just to be fair.
So both my parents had careers they loved, and being a good Christian, made them good at their career. In many ways, they were able to be a witness to the dark world around them, from within their careers.
However, when you ask, does G-d care.... depends on how you define it.
I think obviously you would grasp that G-d would care if you started working at a gay singles bar, or an abortion clinic, or any other disgusting thing to G-d.
But does he care if you work at Wendy's verses Burger King? No, I doubt it. Now I mean that on a general level. I do not think G-d sits around micro managing every aspect of our lives, like I don't think you are going to wake up every single morning "G-d wants me to wear blue today! I know it!".
But what if there happens to be someone at Burger King, that needs the Lord, and G-d wants you to be that person for them? Then maybe he would nudge you in that direction.
Looking past this argument, I would say that most people... not all, but most, have some sort of a gift. Not speaking in tongues or such, but some sort of a practical ability that is theirs.
Likely whatever career you choose, should be one that uses your gifts. I would assume that the Lord is pleased when his people use the gifts given to them, to the best of their abilities.
That seems a reasonable assumption, based on scripture, yes?
