Philippians 1:12 “Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.”
Paul was in prison, but was exuberant that his time he was being used by God to reach the entire network of palace guards with the Gospel of Christ. He also recognized that most of his Christian friends had been encouraged to be bolder in their witness. Paul was a man of focused purpose and knowledge of God.
What kind of work situation are you in these days? Positive? Negative? Overly stressful? Dynamic and exciting? Dull and routine?
Remember two things:
1) No matter how good or how bad things are … HE HAS PUT YOU THERE for this moment in time TO BE A LIGHT. Don’t get caught up in your successes or stresses. Remember you are a person with purpose;
2) He WILL USE YOU if you surrender yourself to him.
O Lord, thank you for sovereignly placing me here today. I surrender my will to you to be used by you however you desire.
Life in the Spirit
