A friend of ours, a professional sportsman, hoped to change careers and to work for God in some capacity.
With this in view, he began studying Theology and has not long to go before completing his degree.
However, an unexpected development has led him to have to take over a role of responsibility in his present line of work.
This is having the effect of taking him away from his study and assignments.
It seems so strange that God should actually want him to leave his studies, and continue in his present work-and in a position of more responsibility.
Or is that he can witness for God and reach people for Him where he is working now? Or does God mean him to do both and will help him to cope with what seems like an almost impossible task? Particularly as he is also a devoted husband and a very involved father to two small children.
I am also puzzled because I have also been "landed" with extra work I did not really want and am finding it hard to discern whether this unexpected burden is what God wants me for- or whether it is just worldly pressure.
