My son-in-law posted an interesting writing from Desiring God Ministries, written by Marshall Segal--the executive assistant to John Piper. Thought it was a great outlook on living our daily walk with God. It has several parts, so I will be adding some each day.

What should I do with my life?

It’s one of the biggest questions on most young minds, especially during and after our college years. The practical question is, "What will I do for a living?" When you do the math — 50 hours x 50 weeks x 40 years — and realize we’re talking about 100,000 hours, the question really is, “What will I be?”

Here are eight aims that should drive every Christian career path. Fall in love with these aspirations, and your work will bear much fruit for Christ, regardless of your field.

1. Aspire to Make Much of God

Our God, in all he does, is about God. He says, “My glory I will not give to another” (Isaiah 48:11). His passion for his own glory inspires everything he does, including loving and saving sinners, deferring his anger in order that we might be saved (Isaiah 44:22–23).
And now he calls the redeemed to do all they do for his glory. “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). Whateveryou do: privately and publically, recreationally and vocationally, Sunday andMonday. God’s greatest work in the world is to make himself look exceedingly great in the eyes of people everywhere. And he wants that to be the heartbeat and aim of your life and vocation, as well, wherever you work — that people would see your good work and give your God glory (Matthew 5:16).
