Scripture
Hebrews 13:2 — “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers…”
Devotional
Hospitality is more than having people over for dinner. It’s creating spaces—physical and relational—where others feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. Your workplace is full of people who feel unseen, new, anxious, or out of place. Stewardship means noticing them and making room.
Hospitality at work might look like greeting the new hire by name, inviting someone to lunch, helping a temp or contractor feel included, listening well in meetings, or offering practical help when someone is overwhelmed. You may not control the whole culture, but you can cultivate a hospitable presence around you.
When you practice hospitality, you mirror the heart of God, who welcomed you into His family when you were far off. Your desk, office, or workstation can become a doorway of grace—where people experience a small taste of the welcome Christ offers.
