Have looked right on your own doorstep?Today's Scripture:
Cynics look high and low for wisdom - and never find it; the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!
Proverbs 14:6
You have searched in every nook and cranny for your keys. After fifteen minutes and three people helping you, they are found right on your desk in the most obvious place. You never even thought to look on your desk. You were sure you would have noticed them before in such an obvious spot. Sometimes things are so apparent that they stare you in the face and you just overlook them.
Wisdom is required for you to be successful in leading your organization. Leaders are always seeking answers to questions and solutions to problems.
Sometimes the answers to your questions are right before you and you just do not recognize their value.
When you are searching for a new staff or employee, look at the obvious candidates within your organization. When you are trying to trim the budget, seek counsel form those with inside working knowledge of you company. More than likely, the employees know where time and product are wasted better than any outside consultant would know. Be sure to look in the obvious places for the answers and solutions to the problems you are seeking to resolve.
Sometimes you need a reminder that you can trust those around you to guide you and assist you in your leadership. By looking in the most obvious places and keeping an open mind to suggestions made by your own organization's experts, you may find that wisdom is all around you. This is not just true in secular business but in our families and in our church.
Selah people' and friends identify an issue you have been trying to resolve on your own. Ask a coworker or friend to share their expertise about the issue. Propose a change and negotiate the resolution within the organization regarding the issue.
"May we choose today to start looking in the obvious places for the help we need. Open the door and allow Christ to assist you in the tasks before you."
Your pastor,
