It's not about making a point…let's make a difference

When Others Disappoint You

A few years back, we went through a period of time that sealed our ability to trust the Lord completely. We had been working with one organization streaming their races when we were suddenly, and without explanation, removed as the streaming provider for their live feed.

It was a very hurtful time. We felt abandoned by all around us in the business and were not sure what to do next, let alone how to pay our bills. The Lord saw us through that time and has prospered our company. It would be that break through moment that moved us to the next level. What others had meant for evil, He used for good. It was our Joseph moment.

God versus Mammon

Yesterday, a young couple stopped by the house for a short visit on their way to an overnight getaway. As we caught up the husband explained he had shutdown his construction business to concentrate on taking care of their 2 daughters and leading worship at 2 local churches. He had taken on a project last fall that appeared it would be an easy and quick financial windfall for his family.

While he certainly made some profit, it was not an easy or simple task with numerous setbacks and problems along the way. He explained he had not ‘prayed through it’ before taking on the project. Had he, he believes the Lord would have told him not to take the job. It was a lesson in who his provider is. While his motives were right, his heart was not led by the Father.

Your Position Is a Result of Your Actions

Reputation is everything in the business world. If you consistently don’t pay your bills on time, fulfill your contracts or keep your word, you might as well close the doors and do something else for a living. I have written about this in the past, however there is a need for us to understand this today more than ever on a personal and business level especially as Christ followers.

Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do is the standard for our company. We do everything possible to make certain we uphold those standards. We understand one bad mark wipes out all the good you’ve done because nobody remembers the things you did right, only the things you fell short on.

Presumption Versus Faith

God helps those who help themselves…while this is a great motto for self initiative, it’s not scriptural. There is a fine line between using the talents our Father has given us and self promotion. As the Lord broadens our path through the real possibility of TV production, I started to think about the opportunities we may have and the types of applications for the new venture. When you have as much windshield time as we’ve had the last 7 weeks, it’s hard not to dream a little.

Yesterday, on our final leg home from the Northern Lights Tour 2014, I engaged in such dreaming and discussions with my wife. As I talked about all of the possibilities this new program could bring, I threw idea after idea out about how we could capitalize on this new portion of our business. As I pontificated, she remained silent…that’s always a good indicator that something is my idea and not the Lord’s.

Small Things

God rarely elevates a person to a position of authority overnight. There is always a training ground we must go through to get to where the Lord wants us to be. Paul spent years under the great Jewish teacher Gamaliel as well as learned the ways of the west by living in the crossroads city of Tarsus. It was through his education in the scriptures and his knowledge of western society that he fulfilled his calling to reach the gentiles for Christ.

I can look at my own life and see how the Lord has used all of my education, both secular and religious, to bring me to the place He has me today. Through the church He equipped me to reach out to those around me in the world of motorsports. From a small beginning 8 years ago, our company has grown from a single camera operation to 2 units with multiple cameras in HD quality.
