Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Share
Scripture: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; – Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
Work is not merely a means to a paycheck; it is a divine mission field. When we work ‘heartily, as to the Lord,’ our excellence, integrity, and diligence become a powerful testimony to those around us. In a world characterized by apathy, cutting corners, or professional resentment, a Christian who works with joy and honesty stands out. Your attitude in the mundane tasks of the day can be the bridge that connects your coworkers to the hope of the Gospel.
Ask yourself today if your coworkers would identify you as a follower of Jesus based solely on your work ethic. Are you patient when stressed? Do you speak well of your superiors? Do you offer help to those who are struggling? When we perform our work as an offering to God we shift the focus from human approval to divine pleasure. Let your professionalism be a reflection of the Gospel’s transformative power making the message of Christ attractive to everyone in your workplace.
Prompt: How does your work ethic and attitude at your job point your coworkers to Jesus?
Action Step: Sharing the Gospel includes letting our light shine through excellence and integrity in the workplace.
Next Step: Look for an opportunity to serve a coworker today.
