At your workplace, do you see yourself as Christ’s ambassador? Being an ambassador for Christ means properly representing Him in whatever you do, including at work. You represent God as you go about doing your job.
What kind of ambassador are you? Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” No matter how difficult or challenging your workload or workplace environment, every day is an exciting new opportunity to give the people around you a positive representation of God and the Christian life.
God, may I represent You well at work-by humbly serving others and by performing my assigned tasks without complaint and with excellence and joy—“for I serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:24). Amen.

Not long after I accepted a position at the seminary where I received my own training, I attended a conference of professors from around the country. One of the speakers had a Ph.D. in religion and theology. It wasn’t long before it became apparent that, while this person knew a lot about God, he did not have a personal relationship with God through Christ. During a lunch break, I sat with him and initiated a conversation about salvation and the gospel message.
Sometimes the accounts of the faithful in the Bible can feel a bit intimidating. You may wonder if you will ever transform into a man or woman with godly influence. Maybe you feel that way when you read about the woman in Proverbs 31, or when you read about the life of Paul. Paul was Jesus’ “chosen vessel” to spread the Savior’s name “before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel” (Acts 9:15).
Becoming an empty nester presents many unexpected challenges, especially when we have been used to living in a home bustling with children. For years, our calendar was marked with school projects, sporting events, youth groups, and family meals around the table. Now we have an abundance of free time, and we want to steward it well.
