To be a Christian in the workplace is not always easy. Not infrequently it is filled with tension and office politics, not to mention petty jealousies and personality conflicts. It’s often a dog-eat-dog environment as co-workers are encouraged to compete against each other. As Christians we are called to be different. Look for ways you can affirm and encourage your co-workers. If possible, put it in the form of a memo and send a copy to their supervisor. Go beyond the call of duty in the performance of your responsibilities, especially if it makes your supervisor or co-workers look good.

“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

— Romans 12:10 NIV

Lord Jesus, help us to look for ways to promote others above ourselves. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
