January 12, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, January 12.
I watched a movie the other night about the behind-the-scenes world of a restaurant kitchen. It was violent. It was chaotic. It was crazy! The movie wasn't a documentary, it was a fictional story. So, I wondered - is that really the way it is?
I have a friend who's a chef and so I asked him if that movie was true to life. He quickly assured me that working in a high-pressure restaurant, under a tyrannical chef . . . was exactly like that! I asked him how anyone could put up with those kinds of conditions, day after day. His answer was simple - if that's what you're called to do, then that's what you do. And no other job could ever compare.
I began to think about the calling that comes from God. I'm not talking about paid, career ministers - I'm talking about every Christian. He has a plan for each of us. He has a purpose for our lives. He has a calling for me, and for you. And nothing else could ever compare.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
