| The Most Important Enterprise On Earth |
|
| |
You are a part of the most important enterprise on planet earth. Take all the top companies listed in Forbes magazine, you are a leader in something far greater. Take all the governments and government organizations world wide, you are the key decision maker in something incredibly more significant.
So what can be that significant? What is Earth's most important enterprise? Human life! And you are the CEO, the chief executive officer, of one human life -- yours! Run it well!
Any great enterprise, if managed poorly, will self-destruct and wind up in the waste heap of history. But when managed well, it will succeed and thrive and be very beneficial.
So are corporate failures unimportant enterprises? No! They are poorly managed. Are human beings who are unhappy and are slowly self-destructing, unimportant? No! No! They are just being managed poorly.
Good News! If you don't like the way the extremely important enterprise of your life is going, you can change your management style. Even better, you can bring in new management that has a proven successful track record in human turnarounds. His name is Jesus. Turn the leadership of your life over to Him. Make Him your CEO.
Begin to follow and obey Jesus daily and your personal human enterprise will turn around, will begin to succeed and to thrive. Try it! Do it today. Surrender to Him and obey Him from today forward, no matter what the cost. Gather the courage and do it. The enterprise of your life is too important for anything less than God's management! |

Whose in charge? Thanks, Steve, even a Christian like me needs to know. As a matter of fact I've been trying to get better organized into this great enterprise I call "myself". I figured a "mind, body, soul" outlook would be a good formula.
For the mind, I'll do some reading, crossword puzzles, and maybe write a bit. For the body, I'll do what all the professionals suggest and start an exercise program. For the soul, I'll spend more time with the CEO by meditating, worship and service. My problem is motivation and discipline. Now...where do I go for that? |

Great comment, Ed! I give it a "comment star"!
Motivation is more caught than taught. We get it by exposing ourselves to motivated people. Find the most fired up Christians in your town and hang around them as much as possible. Read the book of Acts over and over and over. (Acts fires me up!)
As for disciple, set tiny, reachable goals. An example: read the New Testament at least 5 minutes every day and never miss a day for 21 days. I challenge men in the rehab where I work to do that one. And it works for many guys. After a few days of reading a mere 5 minutes they begin to actually get interested in the Word and begin to read much more out of interest rather than out of forced discipline. |

| Kurios = CEO. Very good. We shouldn't lord it over like the gentiles, but the greatest should be the least. Like John the Baptist said: "I must decrease and He must increase." Thanks for making me think, apodemeo. |

| Steve, your blog reminds me of the old bumper sticker "God is my co-pilot" - which is sorta backwards since God should be the pilot and I should be the co-pilot. It's His show and His ride. I'm happy to be along on it. |
