Our work should not to be what we exist for, for value is greater than just endeavoring to meet basic needs or dreams of riches, what do you do with the riches when your dieing and your money can't cure and you have no one but your money to keep your company? Your value is more than gold and silver.and if that is all that you truly exist for your work is an avenue God can use to bless other people . Use all that God has given you: your influence, your contacts, your profits, to bless people and turn them toward God. Many people won't listen to a pastor or TV preacher, but they will listen to someone they know and contact in daily life. You don't have to be a pastor or a priest to walk with God and be used by Him. Think of Abraham, David, Moses, and Daniel. Not one of them was a preacher or a priest. Instead, they were all involved in agriculture or government, what we consider as secular jobs. Yet they are among the most famous and revered of Bible characters. Also we should keep in mind that Jesus of Nazareth spent most of His years on earth as a carpenter a businessman not a preacher. You can see God move just as much in the work place as at a church meeting. God is interested in blessing people right where they are. Where you work and spend your time is your "world." God does not expect or ask most people to win some other country for Him. God expects you to be a witness right where you are. Be a witness of God's blessing and goodness and love. You don't have to force your beliefs on people, but let your associates and customers and suppliers and co-workers see God's blessing in your life, and as you have opportunity let them know it is because of God's grace and goodness which is also available for them.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[a] you serve the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23-24).
