Too many Christians separate the faith part of life from work. they check at the office door the very thing that could make the greatest difference in their co-worker's lives, giving them the strength and courage to make life changing decisions.
"This seemed like a very good idea to the king, and all his officers agreed. And the king asked them, Can we find a better man than Joseph to take this job? God's Spirit is truly in him. So the king said to Joseph, God has shown you all this. There is no one as wise and understanding as you are. So, I will put you in charge of my palace. All the people will obey your orders, and only I will be greater than you. Then the king said to Joseph, Look, I have put you in charge of all the land of Egypt. then the king took off from his own finger his signat ring with the royal seal on it, and he put it on Joseph's finger. He gave Joseph fine linen clothes to wear, and he put a gold chain around Joseph's neck" (Gen. 41:37-42).
"I will take you...my servant, says the Lord, and I will make you important like my signat ring, because I have chosen you, says the Lord All-Powerful" (Haggai 2:23).
Whatever you do or say, let it be as a representitive of the Lord Jesus - Col. 3:17
There can be no higher calling than to be what God has created you to be; and to do what God has called you to do.
Here is the word God spoke to me this morning as I shared with him my fears and frustrations:
"Mark, Shelby, Kelsy, Pauline, Karen, Lou, and all of the other staff at the resturant and in the hotel, they all need Jesus. Few of them, if any will ever darken the door of any church. I have prepared a sacrifice. I have made holy my invited guests. I will give them, all of them, pure speech. You are bringing the temple to them. They will come."
