Trouble at Work? Day 35 – Light the World, Build the Kingdom (Year 2)

What to do when you’re having trouble at work or with a boss, or a difficult client? The Bible has some ideas for what to do when you have trouble at work. Speaking to the Colossians, Paul taught the servants how to deal with their masters. He said,

“Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: and whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Collosians 3:22-24

While slavery and indentured servitude was common in biblical days, we don’t practice it now in civilized countries. This doesn’t mean we don’t deal with controlling bosses, co-workers or clients. In this episode, I share how we can apply these verses to modern employment and business situations.

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day, “What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
