Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I met with the Master as He woke up the world and He painted a picture in the sky so beautiful that it defies words. I stood in His Presence and I gave Him the thanks and the praise that He’s worthy of, and I sought my Direction for this new day. I’ll be busy making my living today, but my biggest priority will be to be a Witness to the world of the saving Grace of a Mighty God. My Faith goes to work with me as surely as my laptop does, and although I won’t “nag” people about the Living God; they’ll no doubt see Him in me…no matter what. THAT’S the most important part of all the steps I take along the way toward “success” on this new day. My Boss and my Beliefs will be front-and-center no matter where I go or who I meet with throughout my workday. Isn’t that the way you do business too?

It’s a little strange to see how few people understand what it means to be an Ambassador for Christ, and they’re not afraid to say that those “religious” things have no place in the workplace. Somehow they have separated the Workplace and the Worship Place and they don’t think the two of them should ever be mingled together. But if they know anything at all about their “Boss”, and if they have a sincere desire to be like Him, then they need a Good Lesson in how He lived out His Faith. Christ didn’t hang out in the synagogue waiting for people to show up, and He didn’t keep His conversations about His Father contained within the those walls or for an “appropriate time”. He sure didn’t refrain from “religious” talk in the midst of the workplace. In fact, He used the workplace as a platform to share the Truth AND He went out into the workplace to reach people where they are. He stepped into their everyday lives and He was part of the busy days as they toiled to make a living; and He reminded them of their Source and their Strength. He gave them Direction on how to deal with others, and how to be compassionate, how to handle disputes, what it looks like to be people of Integrity, and He talked a whole lot about money and how it is to be handled. Unless you doubt the Truth of what you read Bible and you believe it to be a book filled with entertaining stories about mythical people; then I’m not sure how you CAN’T be working out Faith full-force in the Workplace…the ideal platform to be a Witness to the world of the Saving Grace of a Mighty God.

I’ll be going about my work today with the boldness of a lion along with a firm foundation of Faith that is as sweet honey. I’ll be kind; but courageous. I’ll be a woman of excellence as I share my business with the world ,and my world will know with absolutel certainty that I am a woman of Faith. If they are offended by my Faith, and they choose not to work with me because of it; I know that God will provide a Replacement. I’ll be taking advantage of the Platform of my work as an opportunity to Serve Him and to share Him. I know that the Platform of my work is ordained by the Living God and that I am called to be His Ambassador in all that I do…ESPECIALLY my business. You won’t have to rely on a bumper-sticker on my car to tell if I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I walk like it, I talk like it, I live like it and I love like it…no matter where I am or who I’m with.

How about you?
