Day 3: Advancing in Your Career

God has placed within each of us gifts.

And those gifts are truly gifts to the world around us when we fully utilize them.

We have a great opportunity to honor God by using our gifts and skills to help others. As we seek to grow and advance in our careers and businesses, we would be wise to lean into those gifts that He has placed on our lives.

Rather than making our career focus just on what is going to earn the most, our focus should be asking the question, “How can I best utilize the gifts God has placed on my life?”

Just like the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, we are called to steward the gifts and talents that God has given us. Through this, we can honor His name. Therefore, let us work hard with excellence and integrity, always seeking to use our careers as a platform to share the love and grace of Jesus Christ with those around us.

Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father,

I thank You for the gifts, talents, and abilities You have given me. As I strive to advance in my career, I remember that "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23-24). Help me to see my work as an opportunity to serve You and others and to do it with excellence and integrity.

I know that challenges may arise, but I trust in Your strength, knowing that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Guide me in making wise decisions and open doors that will lead to growth and success in my profession.

May my work be a reflection of Your love and grace, and may I always seek to glorify You in all that I do. Grant me the wisdom and perseverance to excel in my career for Your honor and glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.
