Becoming a Mighty Man
Sometimes I wonder if I’m up for the tasks the Lord has given me in life, especially when things go wrong or the path becomes difficult with never ending challenges. I often stop and question my direction and if I’m really doing what He wants me to do.
When God Seems Far Away
The other day, after what seemed like months without having the opportunity to speak, I had a 2 hour conversation with one of my oldest and dearest friends. We’ve know each other for nearly 30 years, both love the Lord, are retired professionals from public service and each own a business.
Avoiding Self-Based Faith
Leading of the Lord…this is how we operate our business. We tried to do it man’s way at first, but it simply did not work. Everything we did to grow or prosper the company had little or no results. When we ‘finally let go and let God’, everything changed. How we operated the business is all based on faith. The Lord brings the increase and directs our path. When it’s time for a new person, another piece of equipment or to expand our reach, He signals the change and we follow.
Sweating Outcomes
Great perspective for Christ followers. I know I worried myself sick, at times, concerned with provision for myself, my family and even our ministry. This happened after I gave my life to Jesus. It took a little time for me to trust the Lord with my path. He has shown me in so many ways how He has and will take care of us. Following Him in everything I do has become second nature. I know of no other way to live.
Hearing His Voice
Does the Lord speak to His people on a daily basis, yes. I hear Him in many different ways. This is my most recent experience. At a race 2 weeks ago, we had a problem with one of our more sophisticated pieces of equipment that required we send it back to the manufacturer. The box I would normally use was at home, but there are plenty of resources on the road, so no need to go home just for that.
Mustard Seed Faith in Business
Sometimes when we see or read about how our Lord works in today’s world, it seem a bit unrealistic, even hard to believe. I often think why would He bother with me or my problems? Who am I to ask the God of the universe to heal my pains or handle my situations? There are so many other things in the world that need His hand. I’m really nobody in the grand scheme of things, right? Wrong!
