From government to McDonald’s
Peter, born-again Christian and minister with the government is called by God
God: Peter, I want you to quit your job at the ministry and look for a job with McDonald’s. Of course your salary will only be a quarter of what you earn at the moment, but if you move to a smaller house you can make ends meet.
Peter: Lord, what are you saying? What about my education, I will be bored out of my mind.
God: Well, Pete, I know you are overqualified, but I will make sure they hire you and you will be the best burgerflipper in the whole company. But what I really want you to do is to be My witness, because there are absolutely no Christians in this company.
Peter: Lord, that sounds great. I may not be earning that much, but I can be Your witness and a lot of people will turn to You. Now I get it!
God: Actually… you will be My witness, but no-one will listen to you and not one person will turn to Me. Maybe you will get fired sometime, but I will make sure you can get a job in another branch.

Does this sound improbable?
God would never do that, right? He wouldn’t ask that from us, right? God would want us to lead a good life, right?

This waiting has helped me to personally grow in my relationship with God. More and more during these past few months, Jesus has challenged me to develop the habit of listening to what He has to say, instead of the many words that I felt I needed to say; thus pointing me to what has result to our article for this week. ‘’Developing a Lifestyle of prayer’’
