I’ve emceed plenty of business meetings in the past.

Throughout the day I heard many 20 minutes speeches.  Of course at business meetings like this there was no mention of God; in fact, not even a polite, “Thank God for our success.”  But, on the other hand, they were promoting a number of sound biblical principles, like serving the customer, honest work and ethical decisions.

They Were Enthusiastic And Positive

It was encouraging to see the enthusiasm and optimism they have despite the economic conditions of today.  Their focus was growing their company by being proactive, not reactive.  They were encouraging their mangers to look for ways to improve the product and service in order to see growth.

And even though no one mentioned looking to God for His help and direction, I couldn’t help but think that in this group of over 800 general managers and upper management, that there were some in the group who believe and trust God to help them in their area of responsibility.

Okay, I’m Optimistic

Call me optimistic, but I believe that there are men and women all over the country who are asking God for His help concerning their company and their job. I believe that by operating sound biblical principles, asking God for His help and direction, and then having confidence in Him, things will turn around in our country, sooner or later.

I was reminded again that it is a good idea for all of us to pray for the companies we work for, as well as for all those who are making decisions. That, as well as doing our very best at our job can really have an impact on the company you work for.

At any rate, it was fun to spend the day at one the best resorts in Arizona, The Phoenician.  I’m gong back tonight for their awards banquet.
