The New Wisdom

I've been thinking about my future and all the "great" things I want to do with my life, but I've got one Scripture just gnawing away at all the dreams, wriggling its way in and making itself heard: he who wins souls is wise. It's an incredible command, because it carries no value if you think naturalistically. It doesn't seem to bring anything to the economy, it doesn't seem to feed people or heal them of diseases. Of course, it does if you argue that lifestyles change and miracles happen when people become Christians, but from a naturalist mind, it doesn't seem obvious. It's an incredible leap of faith to be obedient in that way, to give up dreams and just preach God. And even more frightening is that you often won't even see the fruit of what you're doing. Can I do anything else though? God is sovereign and what He chooses for me supercedes everything else, because it actually is the best thing for me.
