6 Faith Find Your Calling In Jeremiah God says, “"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”[1:5]. Your calling is the center of Gods will for your life. It’s why you were born. Yet, most people treat it as ho-hum. 5 That is to say, they think that that unless they are called to be preachers or evangelist, that their life has no purpose. Start your business God’s best isn’t for you to work for someone else. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and most of our fathers in the faith, owned businesses. They didn’t work for someone else’s business. It’s impossible to pass a job down to your kids. You 4 have to be there when they tell you. You have to leave when they say so. God wants you to serve him, while money serves you. Business is the only framework where that is possible [Proverbs 22:29]. Be honest Most Christians know how to be nice. But what if I told you that being nice, while not being honest is still a sin [Proverbs 16:6]? Its ok to open up before God first and those with whom honesty is needed. As long as you know how to be respectful when you do it, it’s very beneficial to say to someone, “I enjoyed our conversation, but I don’t think you should have said___” fill in the blank with something that was blatantly w rong.
