In the SCHOOL OR WORKPLACE: God has placed you where you are on purpose. Paul tells those at the Areopagus that God has "predetermined the times and boundaries of our dwelling" (Acts 17:26). We are to be faithful in our work, as an act of worship unto God (Eph. 6:5-9). Our good deeds, our hard work, and faithfulness are all forms of evangelism (Matt. 5:13-16, 2 Thess. 3:10, 1 Peter 2:15).
As the salt and light to a lost and dying world we have been given the opportunity, through out jobs and schooling, to be an advocate for Jesus Christ. The regenerate believer should be excited that they have this amazing opportunity to show and share the love of Christ through the work that they get to do. You may think you are where you are because of a promotion, demotion, this was the only place that would hire you, etc. but the reality is that God has placed you there to show off His glory. Are the men and women that you are surrounded by everyday having our great God portrayed to them in a proper Biblical way, based on your hard work, and love for others. You may be in a difficult place and job right now, but our great Lord and Savior had purposed you to be there for such a time as this. Are you convinced of that. May you have a blessed week as you build relationships and show off His glory from 9-5.
LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE
