Have you gotten into a habit of compartmentalizing your career apart from your walk with Christ? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse discusses the importance of bringing Christ into your business, and offers practical advice on how to do so. Oftentimes it can be easy for Christ-followers to keep their faith and their career separate, especially when your career may not be overtly ministry-related. Yet Charisse reminds listeners that God is involved in every area of our lives, and as Christians, the work that we do should reflect that. She provides three specific areas in which Christian business owners and employees can better integrate their faith into their work:
- Prayer — Inviting God into your work on a daily basis, asking Him to direct your steps and lead you in the way that He wants to use you
- Listening — Finding quiet times to listen for the Lord’s prompting, and spending enough time in the Word to distinguish His voice from any other noise
- No compartmentalizing — Remembering that God is in everything, and when we commit everything to Him, He will establish our plans (see Proverbs 16:3)
If someone looked at your business or your everyday work, would they know what you stand for? Would they know Who you stand for? Being a Christian is not just showing up to service on Sundays, but inviting the Lord into every area of your life, asking Him to direct you and then listening for His calling. We were designed to do good works, but be sure not to let the demands of your earthly work distract you from the work that must be done for the Kingdom.
