Psalm 119:1 Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.

If you hate what you do for a living or where you do it, quit. Find something else to do or find a new employer if it is the environment that is diminishing you. This is so important because as long as you continue to be miserable, you will have no testimony at all.

What one believes is tested in the work one does and where it is done. You cannot separate your natural life from your spiritual life. Rather your natural life is to be enhanced by your spiritual life. There can be no such thing as a spiritual employee who is always late, or who is sloppy regarding his/her quality of work or consistently missing deadlines. Your faith in God is a call to excellence in every area of your life.

Your advancement on the job is not your employer’s responsibility it is yours first and foremost. While it is true that there are circumstances where no matter how hard one tries, the fruit of one’s efforts are not always recognized, at least not as swiftly as one would wish, that is no excuse to lower your standards or to despair. If you decide to stay put, “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.” (Ephesians 6:7). It has been my experience that if you are faithful, there comes a time when God will move in your behalf to engineer change in ways you could not have imagined.
