Tucked in the daily grind of life, there is significance in your location, placement, or season of life you are experiencing. I know this is no news flash, but it’s just a precious reminder as you tick away the moments preparing for the next task on your to-do list.
Remember the account of Naaman the leper and his healing stemmed from a captured little maid! There she was, held against her will, talking about how Naaman could be healed from leprosy! Her statement to Naaman’s wife put Naaman on a life-altering course! She wasn’t asked to speak up; she didn’t have a platform or a huge name, yet she was significant! We don’t know her name and never hear about her again in the scriptures, but we know her words changed Naaman’s life.
Don’t mistake where you are, what you are doing, who you are around, or the monotony of the tasks you must engage in as diminishing factors of your significance. You are in the right place.
Consider Ruth as she gleaned in the field – had she not accepted the necessary task of working, she wouldn’t have been noticed by Boaz. It’s all significant.
Where you are, how you conduct yourself, how you walk out what you believe —every day you get up and step into this world, you are significant. Don’t accept anything less. You may not know the details of how you make a difference until eternity, but that’s okay. Someone’s miracle, deliverance, or refreshing of hope – renewed strength to fight on, and reinforced faith to carry on may rest on what you say, how you act, and the love of Jesus you display.
And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 3. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. (2 Kings 5:2-3 KJV)

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29 (KJV)
