Have you ever been in a conversation about church doctrinal things .... along the lines of salvation, Trinity, God - nothing like church gossip, etc... When someone says, "We're not in church. Why do we have to talk about religious stuff?"
All that to say... why do believers spend so much time dividing our lives into spiritual / non-spiritual. God never does this. Everything for the Christian is spiritual. Every decision... job, food, vacation, conversation at work, disciplining our children, houses we buy, cars we drive, money we spend - all spiritual. American Christianity is in the shape it is in because we live two lives: Spiritual life, "regular" life.
I have learned God does not place us where we are just to get a job and "live." We are to be deeply involved in people's lives.
Point? We are not to live asking, "God, what is your will for my life, my family?" Rather we need to say, "Father, you have placed me HERE. What is your will for this world and how can I be a part of fulfilling your will?"
