I've asked myself that question.

And how many times I've wanted to say, I don't want to teach anymore.

Who needs it?

And the thing that keeps me going is I keep coming back to something that's very clear to me.

But it is my vocation.

And if it is my vocation, then I know that that's what I'm supposed to do.

And I wish that every Christian that I know had as strong a sense of vocation on their lives as I have on my own, because it saved me all kinds of anguish to have that settled in my mind.

We remember the song, Que sera, sera, what will be, will be.

The introduction to that song is a little girl is asking her mother, what will I be?

Will I be pretty?

Will I be rich?

What's going to happen to me?

And so on.

And her mother gives her the answer, Que sera, sera,

whatever will be will be in an attempt to dissuade this child from being preoccupied with the future.

And there is a sense in which the Bible also warns us from an over-preoccupation with what tomorrow is going to bring.

We're not allowed to be engaged in fortune-telling and that sort of thing.

That was a capital offense in Old Testament Israel.

But there are questions about how we invest ourselves in our lives that are of great importance to us, and the Scripture calls us to have a sober analysis of our gifts and talents and to seek diligently to see the providential leading of God on our lives.

Now, if that's a question that is in your mind, I hope that you will stay with us and that you will contemplate and ponder these things so that you can get it settled in your own mind and in your own soul.
