I have a deal for you! With all of the incredible resources available to leaders by way of the internet, do you have trouble determining which one is the best? If you will bear with me until the end, I will show you how to get the #1 FREE resource for Christian business leaders.
This is not a trick and it is certainly not a ploy to drive traffic to this blog, though that would not be bad if it happens!
However, before I tell you what it is and where to get this free resource, I have to tell you about my search and the various places I did not find it.
Life-long Learner
You see, I have been a life-long learner. I love learning new facts and ideas. I enjoy learning about big concepts as well as trivial tidbits. I just get a kick of any kind of learning.
Books
Since I have always been taught that a leader is a reader, I have always sought out the next greatest book to teach me what I need to know. Over the years, I have found some really good books and I have indeed learned a lot from them. In fact, I have created a whole page on this website dedicated to my recommended Reading List. Many of the books on this list have had significant impacts on my life. I would not give up having read any of them.
Other Leaders
I have also been taught to look to those who are smarter than me and have more experience than I do and to learn from them. I have learned from my parents, coaches, other business leaders, and even people I have never met through blogs, conferences, and webinars. I am always looking to meet people that can teach me something!
But, regardless of all of the combined learning from all of the above sources, none compares to the resource I am about to reveal to you. If I could somehow measure everything I have learned from these sources, that total would hardly register when compared to what can be learned from the one resource I about to share with you.
#1 Free Resource
Enough of the build-up, already. The #1 free resource for Christian business leaders is godly wisdom, or as James puts it, wisdom from above. Let’s take a look at what wisdom really is, as defined by Webster:
- -deep understanding, keen discernment, and capacity for sound judgment
-ability to discern inner qualities and relationships
If we could all have our fill of the above definition of wisdom, do you really think we would need a whole lot more? There is so much that we encounter from day to day in our businesses, families, and other interactions that would go so much smoother if we were filled with this wisdom. Can you imagine the impact we could have if we could relive some of our missed opportunities, but this time be armed with godly wisdom?
Value vs. Cost
I can tell you this…I will take all of it I can get. I have seen the results in those situations where my wisdom from above kept me from making a decision I am sure I would later regret. I have also seen the results when I failed to employ godly wisdom. I do not need to be convinced of the value it holds.
So, what does this godly wisdom cost us? Do we have to live for 80 years before we can experience it? Do we have to be able to afford a higher education to gain it?
No, no, no! It is free for the asking! Take a look at this:
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. An indecisive man is unstable in all his ways. – James 3:5-8
All we have to do is ask God and have faith that He will do what He says He will do. It is really that simple!
Give it a try. For the next 90 days, pray earnestly that God will give you wisdom and have the faith that He will answer that prayer. God is faithful. I guarantee you will notice a difference! What do you have to lose?
What are you struggling with that requires wisdom?
Have you prayed for wisdom before?
Have you seen God answer this prayer for you?
