Using Us Where We Are

I am part of a men's group that meets every Friday morning at 6:15. We do a brief Bible study then we share prayer requests along with what is going on in our lives.

This morning, one of the guys in our group shared how he believes God has him in his workplace for a reason and it is becoming more evident to him each day. He said his workplace is filled with people who live alternative lifestyles - there is much "diversity."

He also shared that two Christians left the company on the same day a while ago and they both said that they didn't think God wanted them working in that sort of environment.

It is certainly possible that God called these people to another place; however, I believe God wants us working in environments like the one my friend is in. After all, isn't there where Jesus would be? We all can make such a difference wherever we are!

Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. - 1Cor7:20-22

I believe God is calling his people to make an impact in the marketplace. Read Marketplace Christianity if you want to know how.
