Strategically Placed

1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us: so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. As God's men, it can be very challenging to live this out in our daily lives and perhaps nowhere is this more true than in the workplace. Difficulty in our work goes all the way back to the Fall of man (Genesis 3:17-19), yet God still has a purpose and plan through our chosen vocations.

Whether you've been called to full-time Christian service or whether you work in the business world, in education, or are retired or caring for others---what you do is your calling and God wants us to fulfill that calling for His honor and glory. He has strategically placed each and every one of us in a place where we can serve others, where we can allow the love of Christ to be manifested through us and where we can make an impact for His Kingdom for His glory. God has personally blessed me with the opportunity to touch many people where I work and have a positive spiritual impact on their lives.

When we go to work tomorrow, let us not focus on the stresses of our jobs or the difficult people we may encounter, but rather let us remember that we are God's ambassadors where He has placed us and given us a mission field to reach others. Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and praise your Father in Heaven (Matthew 5:16).
