YOUR WORK MATTERS
Bishop Ed Smith
The workplace is the largest mission field in the world. It’s where you spend most of your time. It’s where you work. God created each of us to use our gifts and talents to add value and solve problems for other people in the world. It’s in the work we do, as followers of Christ where we can do the most good for others. It’s where God can shine the brightest by us doing good that people really appreciate and value.
Jesus said it this way.
"you are the salt
This is when our light shines the brightest, in dark, challenging, difficult and hopeless places in the world. The results are people you encounter in the workplace or because of your work, are grateful, glorifying our Father in heaven. Maybe, it’s time you see your work not as a job or a task, but as a harvest field to bring attention to our Heavenly Father, by bringing excellence to the workplace, where you spend much of your time encountering people. Seeing your work as a God assignment for using your gifts and what you are passionate about doing, then your work will do something good, adding value to enhance the lives of others and solve problems.
of the earth,
but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world . A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others , so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
