“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”— Colossians 3:23

Faithfulness in your daily work is how you commit it to God.

Every Monday morning, Karen walked past the same homeless man on her way to the office. Most people ignored him. Karen used to as well—until one Monday when she felt prompted to stop. She bought him coffee. They talked for ten minutes. His name was David. He’d lost his job, then his apartment, then hope. The next Monday, she stopped again. Then the next. It became her rhythm—coffee, conversation, presence. Her colleagues noticed. “Why do you do that?” one asked. Karen’s answer was simple: “God put me on this route. I think He wants me to be faithful with it.” Six months later, David showed up at her office building—clean-shaven, dressed for an interview. A connection Karen had made helped him get his foot in the door. “You didn’t just give me coffee,” David told her. “You gave me dignity. You showed up when everyone else walked past.” Faithful presence isn’t about grand gestures or platform-building. It’s about showing up consistently in the small spaces God assigns you. The route you walk. The cubicle you occupy. The meetings you attend. The people others overlook. Colossians 3:23 says work with all your heart, as working for the Lord. Sometimes that work isn’t on your job description. Sometimes it’s just being faithfully present where God places you, trusting Him with what happens next.

Identify one “small space” in your work routine where God may be inviting faithful presence—a colleague everyone avoids, a task others ignore, a moment most people rush past. Show up there consistently this week, even if nothing “significant” happens.

Father, help me see the sacred in the small spaces. Give me faithfulness where You’ve placed me, even when no one’s watching. Let my presence honor You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
