So many things in building a business depend on us: determining our core product and core client, networking, scheduling, content creation, supply chain issues, marketing. And did I mention prayer, excercise, and sleep to support the focus and energy we need to do all that?
It’s easy to forget that we’re in business because God as called us to this and he will support us if we remember that our core mission is to serve him and his people. And that he’s doing the heavy lifting.
The weaknesses of biblical CEOs like Moses (remember the Egyptian in the desert?), Aaron (of the golden calf incident), Paul (who called his followers “stupid” in his frustration), David (adulterer and murderer) and Peter (well….. Peter…..) didn’t get in the way of God’s building up the Kingdom through them. And if we keep our eyes on Jesus, our weaknesses won’t get in the way of God working through our business, either.
You’ve heard of work/life balance. Let’s pray today for a God/me balance — and not try to take on the job of God Almighty who alone can bring abundant fruit from our efforts — in his way and in his time.
