Mark 10:21 ” One thing you lack, He said. Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

The rich young man was one of the few that Jesus beckoned to “Follow Me” rather than “Go home and tell.” When Jesus demanded the young man to liquidate all his business dealings and wealth, He already knew what the man’s decision would be. But what if this rich young man had realized that his love of money was mightier than his love of God? And what if he walked into his workplace a changed person to witness personally about Jesus? Do you know that where you’re working right now is exactly where God wants you, and thus you have the responsibility to demonstrate the love of God? But also realize that all the cute Christian plaques & doodads in your cubicle make no difference or will ever withstand your coworker’s scrutiny if you are continually complaining, whining, and arguing. At work you can set an example everyday for others…but it’s up to you whether it’s a good example or a bad one.
