Manna in the Morning

I’m sure that you’ve heard the saying that we are to bloom where we’re planted. As you go to work today maybe your thinking... why does God have me here... in this place. So many work environments are not all that conducive to being a witness for Christ. And yet, we are called upon by our Lord to be light and to be salt. We are to let Christ shine out of our lives wherever we are. We are to be salt permeating the lives of people around us. Salt’s nature is to heal... preserve... enhance... and to bring out the best, when it’s spread around. Has it ever occurred to you that you could be the only Christian somebody in your workplace knows? That being a real possibility are you responsibly letting them see Christ in your life... your attitudes... your work ethic... your words and manners? It’s important that we remember the challenge of I Cor. 10:21, “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God?” So today, rather than going off to work like someone leading you to the saltmines... remember... God has you where you are so that He may be glorified. Bloom where you’re planted. Shine your light. Be salt in a tasteless world. Give God glory with all of your life!
