"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.." (Colossians 3:23)
The man God uses is a man who knows how to work ...
It was when Moses was tending his father-in-law’s sheep that God appeared to Him in the burning bush (Exodus 3).
It was when Elisha was plowing with 12 yoke of oxen that Elijah cast the mantle of ministry upon him (1 Kings 19:19).

It was when Peter and Andrew were casting their nets that Jesus called them to be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).
It was when Saul was laboring for the high priest on his way to Damascus that Jesus appeared to him and turned his life around (Acts 9).
Many people who want to be missionaries, ministers, or youth pastors are just sitting ‘waiting on God’. But they will still be sitting at age 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70. The answer is to work. Whatever you’re doing, do it heartily to the Lord — for it is then that God will tap you on the shoulder and give you tasks that are even more significant for the Kingdom.
