"And the Lord appeared unto him [Isaac], and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:" Genesis 26:2
One of Isaac's father's biggest mistakes was going down to Egypt in time of famine. To keep Isaac from following in his father's wrong footsteps, he directly intervened, explaining that it is better to do God's will than to go toward the "greener grass." We as parents teach our children daily, and while Isaac was not yet born when Abraham went down to Egypt, I'm sure he learned of the story. So, I guess the question here would be, "What are you teaching your children: to trust God in His will or leave to what you "see" will be better?" Working in the ministry isn't easy or lucrative (if you're truly working in ministry and not a televangelist asking for money), but it provides infinitely better than even the best [secular] job available in your field. If you're a lay-person, there's no shame in that (despite the connotations that are often portrayed unwittingly by those in the ministry), but just make sure you're involved in your church wherever God leads you. Only you can know God's will for your life, but, then again, only you can obey it.
Just a quick apology. I meant to get a post up yesterday (3/6), but I've had some computer issues that just finally got resolved. Lord willing, posts should appear on a daily basis from this point forward.
