possible devo

bringing the workplace into God, not God into the workplace.
we dont need to bring a cross to put on the wall, or a bible in our stack of books, God is already in the workplace, He is everywhere. all we do by bringing little items is profess God, rather than confess Him. rather, we need to not bring God into the workplace, but find a workplace in God, where we can confess Him, honor Him, and bless Him everyday.

"And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God" luke 12:8, matt 10:32

bringing the workplace into God is, i think, a way of living life in which your coworkers, your environment, etc can tell that YOU are different. not because you have crosses on your wall, but because of the way you conduct yourself, the things you stand for (which means you have to stand for something, not be wishy-washy, or a hippocrite), the way you live. so that your coworkers know that something is different. i think if we live that way, that people, maybe just 1 person, will speak up and ask "whats special about you? why are you different?". the people that will ask that, i think, will ask because they WANT it. there will be something within you that speaks to them, that something is God. maybe they dont know it, but if they ask, you can tell them. bringing the workplace into God is a way of letting the workplace ask about Him due to curiosity (they bring themselves to you, and through you, to Him) rather than you bringing Him to them.
