Being There

Take the average workplace. Anyone can just punch in, fill a seat for eight hours, punch out and cash the checks – and never really be seen, heard or felt by any other person.

But to be present means to bring your God-given talents with you and use them to make an impact, to let people know you are there to make a difference.

The best way to be “present and accounted for” is to deliberately decide each day that your first duty is to God and secondly to your employer and amazingly, everything will work itself out from there.

Many of our modern problems are because people of faith are just going through the motions. We caught up in survival and fail to move to significance. The path of least resistance is an easy one. But it eventually leads to the path and its destructive end.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men…”
Colossians 3:23
