JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to honor God in our workplace.

Work has been part of the human race, even before sin entered the human race. God created Adam and gave him the task of taking care of the Garden of Eden and naming the animals.

Work is an opportunity for a productive day. Through work, we can provide a service that helps other people and provide for our own families. Our faith has a thriving influence when we serve others with a generous attitude. Ephesians 2:10 says that we are God’s workmanship. The way forward is to do the will of God with the skills He has provided for us. Then, reach out to customers, clients, and co-workers with the question,  “What can I do for you today?”

Colossians 3:23 says, “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Honoring God in our workplace is a vital step to a radiant faith that makes a difference in our world.
