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.

Whether it's the smell of the stable or the fears of a mother-to-be, every part of our existence is important to Him, making it possible for Him to fully know us and yet fully love us. Even the darkest corners of our souls don't escape His scrutiny, or His capacity to forgive.

It's the world-weary, street-savvy, been-there-done-that hard-times Christian whom God picked to star as shepherds in this year's Christmas story. You have news and experience people of privilege often lack, and suddenly they need you more than they know.

Why?

Because you've lived through life's storms and come out the other side. Living paycheck to paycheck, you've been in the storm so many middle class and upper middle class co-workers now face, and you know there's life after the storm. The wisest of you even know there's life in the storm.

Moonlight ricocheted across the valley. Every sound echoed through the canyons of white. Frigid air crusted the top layer of snow, making each new step crackle and pop as the white fluff gave way to human feet.

It was late December in Vermont, and I was trudging up a hill from the road, headed to a construction site deep in the rural countryside for a late-night safety inspection. Our workers were pushing to get this project done before Christmas...
