Daily Word - I teach a lot about being focused in your calling. However, there are seasons that require you to divide your focus between a day job and your calling. In those seasons, it is not a lack of faith to do both—if it is directed by God. When God leads you to stay on the day job, it is because your day job is part of His strategic plan to get you to where you need to be. In this message, see how the Apostle Paul used his tent-making business (a.k.a Day Job) to support and succeed in his calling. Links - Join, Partner
