We read in James 1:2-4, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
This is the path all Christ-followers are on—growing mature and complete—and perseverance helps us get there. Maybe your job is very frustrating right now and you’re thinking of leaving – Could it be that you don’t need a different job but rather a different attitude toward the job you have?
You can grow spiritually right there where you work! Sometimes we think that our spiritual growth only comes through Bible studies, church attendance, and prayer—and those things are certainly important in our lives! But you can grow much faster and in so many diverse ways if you go to your job each day and see it not only as a mission field, but as a classroom. Don’t miss what God wants to teach you through your job!
