Let me tell you the story of a woman in Wisconsin who found herself in a job she hated. It was a manufacturing job with repetitive and boring duties. She graduated from college with very good grades, but found herself in this job that was beneath her. Finally, after hearing my message on The Freedom of a Captive Mind, she decided to change her attitude about that job and to think of it as her mission field. She began reprogramming her mind with Scripture, memorizing verses on the job, and singing songs of praise in that factory job.
Her co-workers noticed the change in her. They began to ask her to sing her songs, and many times she was able to share the Scripture she was memorizing in conversations with different individuals. She started praying for her co-workers, and they began to come to her with their needs, asking her to pray for them.
She was able to lead one of her co-workers to know Jesus as her Savior, and has touched the lives of all who worked with her. Yes, the work was boring, but it gave her time to memorize Scripture while working, and that provided a wonderful healing process in her own life. She made the best of a tough job because she saw it through the eyes of eternity, and asked God to use her there. He did…and still is.
I challenge you to ask God to change your attitude and make you content right where you are, so that you are a light shining in darkness in your corner of the world.
