Bloom where you are planted, so your light shines bright. Focus on making your surroundings look and feel better. Flourish where you are even if you don’t have the job you want or drive the car of your dreams. Position yourself to move to the next level of greater that God has for you. Do the best you can at your current job and gain as much knowledge as possible. God honors the labor you do. It makes no sense to ask God for a better job if you do not do your best with the current one. God has to know that He can trust you, so bloom where you are planted.
Jacob spent years making Laban rich by herding his sheep. This time prepared him for when he was able to leave on his own. Jacob manifested his gift right where he was. Jacob was able to display his talent and bloom where he was planted. He didn’t wait for the next position. He didn’t let the fact that Laban took advantage of him get in the way of him doing an excellent job while he was there.
Offer yourself where you are. Help others around you. Don’t just sit by and let everyone else do the work for you. Make the best effort to be bloom where you are. Jacob spent years making Laban rich, but it paid off for him in the end. He moved with his family and had wealth also. He didn’t allow the root of bitterness to get in the way of his assignment. God honored the faithfulness of his work.
God will also honor the work of your hands. Do your best and bloom where you are planted, so you will survive in the next place if you get uprooted.
