Our Weekly Devotional

Shortly after the release of his first three collections of Bible studies on faith and work (30 Moments Christians Face in the Workplace), Madetomatter's Senior Writer began to look for new ways to reach working Christians. In February, 2002, the first weekly devotional was released under the title "Marketplace Moments." Now approaching it's tenth year, the column's title was changed to Made to Matter on January 1, 2008. With over 500 devotionals written on topics important to workers in every walk of life, there's likely one written about the issues facing you right now, so we've placed them here, searchable, for readers to explore anew. Got a favorite? Write to let us know. Looking for something to send that friend whose suffered a loss, or who has had a serious setback at work? You might find a column that captures the essence of your feelings right here. From the deeply moving story of the WWII canteen in North Platte, Nebraska to the words and life-tales of some of history's best-known and least-known characters, there's something here for everyone.

When Jesus went to the Cross, your name was written on His heart.

In a work world that values efficiency and action, that places great emphasis on busyness and productivity, that wrestles to squeeze the most out of every action, one of the byproducts is often loneliness. It's a disease as prevalent in the senior reaches of a firm as it is in the bowels of the operation.

A young Christian chemist struggles to neutralize a caustic blend of workplace personalities. Sometimes she wonders: Should I stay or should I go? Across town, a reporter pursues truth against a growing tide of political correctness and cynicism. Sometimes he questions: Is my career worth all this grief? Even in the church down the street, tension is no stranger. Staff members ask these same questions, and their answers are frightening. Since the Fall, friction has been the by-product of human interaction, and these days it's kindled white hot.

"You Christians aren't really interested in me; you're just interested in what might happen if you get me." These words sprang from a CEO during a conversation about his personal salvation. Clearly flustered, he continued, "When you guys come to see me, I know you want my checkbook or my influence. Just once, I wish what you wanted was me."

Likely you've been there many times before; perhaps you're there even now. Ahead of you are the very things you've longed for, worked for, and even sacrificed a part of yourselves to reach: The joy of the closed deal, the lure of the dream job, the freedom of not having money woes anymore. Or maybe those things are more personal; maybe what you see before you is the comfort of the perfect mate, the settled joy of that dream home, or even just the end to all those lonely or loveless hours.
