Our Christian faith can’t be left for Sunday use only, yet the pressure in many working environments does not permit thoughts of much other than the immediate tasks being faced. So I welcome this Devotional, which focuses on the Christian in the workplace. A good starting point would be to read each week’s Devotional on Monday at breakfast, on the journey to work, or during morning coffee time, and so set one’s thoughts on an aspect of Christian living and work for the week ahead.
It isn’t always wise or possible to try to discuss one’s faith with colleagues while at work, but I still recall the witness of a Christian who worked in the same factory as me many years ago. His work brought him into contact with people of all levels and responsibilities. Everyone spoke well of him. His clear Christian witness was in the way he did his job. As you read this Devotional each week I pray that you may, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, NJKV).
