The Workplace


You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges, he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.1 


The way people view the gospel is greatly influenced by how Christians act outside the church. The way we live must permeate all areas of life, including the workplace. 


Our behavior reflects our faith. So if we claim to be Christians, then our coworkers, boss, and employees will compare our attitudes and actions to Christ. Do those around you see a positive reflection of God? 


Let's look at a biblical model. First, as we read in today's passage, we must see ourselves as servants and put the needs of others before our own. Next, we must recognize that our true boss is Christ, therefore, we work with integrity and effort, knowing that our reward comes from Him (Colossians 3:23). Therefore, since all authority on earth is God-given (Romans 13:1), we are to obey our superiors willingly, unless they ask us to do something that goes against God's Word. And finally, we must see that all those with whom we work and for whom we work have value in the eyes of the Creator and should be treated with respect (1 John 4:7-8). 


Suggested Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that in today's passage you remind me that I need to have an attitude like Jesus. Lord, help me to be a reflection of you at work, at home, and wherever I go. May everything I do be done for you, knowing that You are present at all times of my day. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen. 


1.    Philippians 2:5-8 (NTV).

Today's Daily Encounter Wednesday, March 27, 2024 Abandonment Issues — Resolved! My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?... those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!1 There is a seventeen-year age gap between my youngest brother and me. My mom had in me a built-in babysitter and so, my baby sibling and I became very close. However, a year later, when the time came for me to leave home, my brother, who had become very attached to me, found it hard to let me go. Years later, due to the fact that my family was serving in a church in Mexico, I decided to return to my parent's home during my pregnancy to receive maternity care in the States. My brother, now grown, approached me one day and told me how much he enjoyed having me home again, but wasn't sure he could handle it if I abandoned him again! He was joking, of course, as he went on to tell me that he had suffered "abandonment issues" and it was all my fault!   This cute little anal...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: April 10th

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: April 10th Tozer in the Morning THE GREAT PHYSICIAN If you are a discouraged and defeated Christian believer, you may have accepted the rationalization that your condition is "normal for all Christians." You may now be content with the position that the progressive, victorious Christian life may be suitable for a few Christian - but not for you! You have been to Bible conferences; you have been to the altar-but the blessings are for someone else. Now, that attitude on the part of Christian believers is neither modesty nor meekness. It is a chronic discouragement resulting from unbelief. It is rather like those who have been sick for so long that they no longer believe they can get well. Jesus is still saying, as He said to the man lying by the gate at the Jerusalem pool, "Do you want to be made whole?" Jesus made him whole-because of his desire! His need was great, but he had never lapsed into that state of chronic di...
