Is God Trying to Tell Me Something

It felt like the entire world was spinning around me when I woke up this morning. And, after tossing and turning for some time, trying to decide whether I should go to work or not, I dragged myself off the bed to head to the office. Considering the client isn’t that far from my house, it’s easier to just go home early if I really am too sick to work.

After a short drive to work, I parked my car and did my daily devotion. I may never fully understand the book of Ecclesiastes, but I felt like God was telling me that it’s meaningless to toil away if I don’t enjoy the work or what it produces. Then, a friend forwarded a depressing email about how people have died from overworking. I don’t know if people really do literally work themselves to death, or if these are just urban legends. But, I do know for a fact that working day and night does take a toll on your health.

With all that’s been happening, I can’t help but suspect God is trying to tell me something. Think more prayers will help me decipher if He’s really speaking to me?

An emphatic YES... (that if you think random happenings are a sign of God, then that's where your heart is leaning)

And yes, people should follow their hearts.
