Let’s go ALL IN with our work!

Hey Guys – Matthew here!

A couple years I go I had this idea to do 24 concerts in 24 hours. That was a terrible idea – but that’s not the point! At 3 a.m. I stopped at a Waffle House and brought my guitar in and sang for three people. There was a waitress, a line cook, and a guy in the corner who looked like he wanted to hurt me!

But, I started singing “Hello My Name Is” and the cook started singing “Child of the One True King” along with me! Well that struck up a little conversation and I asked him, “Do you know what that song means?” He said with a big smile, “Yes, it means I’m blessed and highly favored!”

Here’s a guy who is cooking waffles at Waffle House who knew his Kingdom job was even bigger. I could tell that he was influencing people for Christ at Waffle House, showing the love of the Lord wherever he went.

I hope this devo encourages you to go ALL IN at your workplace this week!

DIVE DEEPER:

  1. How did the line cook at Waffle House go ALL IN?
  2. Read Proverbs 16:3 and Colossians 3:23-24.
  3. Do you feel that when you work you are working for the Lord? Why or why not?
  4. What obstacles might prevent you from seeing your work as Kingdom work?
  5. This week, pray that God will show you a specific way you can go ALL IN at work and commit everything you do to the Lord.
