Hi friends. I want to encourage you today that where you are working matters. I want to read to you from Matthew 5:14-16. It says, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
A few years ago, I was in ministry school and I was working in a job that I did not love because it was a very dark environment, but I knew God had called me to be there. And one day I was talking to my supervisor who was a very open atheist, and after our conversation, the Holy Spirit spoke to me very clearly and He said, “Rachel, if you knew how bad hell was, you would work anywhere that I told you to.” And I realized in that moment that God didn’t need my paycheck. He was my provider. He needed me to work in the workforce and in the place that He had called me to work so that I could be a light, so that others could see my good deeds and give glory to my Father in heaven, and come to know Jesus Christ.
So I want to encourage you today to grab a journal and get alone with God and ask Him, “Father, what are ways that I can be a light in my workplace?” He might tell you to get there early and pray over the chairs of all your coworkers. He might tell you just to write a thank you letter to someone who’s done something kind to you in the past month. I don’t know what He’s going to say, but I want to encourage you to take that time today with the Lord and ask Him how He wants to bring heaven to earth in your workplace.
Alright, I’m going to pray for you. Father, I just thank you so much for every single person under the sound of my voice. I ask Holy Spirit, that you would give them ideas of how to bring heaven to their workplace so that others would see their good deeds and give glory to you Lord, and come to know your Son Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Y’all have a wonderful day. Love y’all, and I’ll see you again soon.
