Have you ever wondered if you’re in the place that God wants you to be? The place where you can be the most effective to work for the Kingdom of God? I have been reflecting on that lately and have been praying for God to give me the opportunity to use me fully where I am. I truly believe our jobs go beyond doing a physical job in the workplace. I believe that God has called us to be where we are for a purpose and we need to fulfill that purpose while we’re there.

We all have a sphere of influence, a circle of friends and family, and also the circle of friends and colleagues in the workplace. How we behave, how we treat others, and the decisions we make—especially when we are in leadership positions—affect others in many ways. Co-workers observe our actions and from there they decide if we are walking the Christian walk or not. Words are nothing without corresponding actions.

Today I encourage you to reflect on the reasons why God has you in the place of work where you are during this time in your life. I encourage you to seek God and ask Him to show you ways where you can be a light in the workplace and to show you ways where you can show His love to others. I will do the same.
