10 Ways to Network Like a King–1 Kings 5, 2 Chronicles 2

May 21, 2013 in 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles, 2013 Journey, Biblical Principles, Goals, My story, Success, Workplace with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Kings 3: 16-28; 1 Kings 5: 1-18; 2 Chronicles 2: 1-18; 1 Kings 6: 1-13; 2 Chronicles 3: 1-14; 1 Kings 6: 14-38

In my 30’s I owned a business.  Networking and connecting with others was a huge part of everyday life for me.  In the world of small business networking there’s a cardinal rule, “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.”  This connecting for mutual benefit was and is critical to the success of the small business model.

You are not going to believe this but networking dates all the way back to Solomon’s day!

In today’s reading we see Solomon as a young king building a relationship with king Hiram of Tyre.  King Hiram was instrumental in the building the Temple, a place of beauty for the Presence of God to dwell.  Without his timber and craftsmen the Temple would not have been so magnificent.

From our reading so far, it is very unusual for two kings to work together; just more evidence that Solomon has supernatural wisdom from the Lord! Since Solomon was this wisest person who was or ever will be (1 Kings 3: 12); he was probably the president of his local networking chapter. I think we can learn something about networking and connecting with people as we look at today’s reading.

Below is a great list of  guidelines for networking and connecting straight from the Word of God!

  1. If possible use a family member or friend’s endorsement to make the initial connection. (1 Kings 5:1)
  2. Immediately respond to phone calls, emails or letters; follow-up, follow-up, follow-up! (1 Kings 5:2)
  3. Share your passion, purpose and goals, not a sales pitch about your product or service.  (1 Chronicles 2: 5)
  4. Partner on a project that would benefit both parties.  (1 Kings 5:5)
  5. Do business together as soon as possible. (1 Kings 5:6)
  6. Encourage and build up by pointing out what they’re doing well. (1 Kings 5: 6b)
  7. Do what you say you’re going to do. (1 Kings 5: 10)
  8. When you find someone you work well with; form an alliance. (1 Kings 5: 12)
  9. Allow each person to work within in their strengths. (2 Chronicles 2: 8 )
  10. Always be clear in your agreements. (2 Chronicles 2: 1-18)

 

You may not own a business but these three-thousand year old relationship principles will work in the church, in a corporation, in private business, in our schools, and in our homes.

The Bible is the number one business book in the world.  It’s holds the keys to success in heaven AND on earth!

Go out and Network like a king!

The More I Thought About It, The Hotter I Got! –Psalm 39: 1-4

May 11, 2013 in 2013 Journey, God Speaks today, My story, Psalms with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  Psalms 39 through Psalms 41; Psalms 53, 55, 58

Do you talk to yourself?

If you said, “yes” you’re in good company.

King David did as well:

I said to myself, “I will watch what I do
and not sin in what I say.
I will hold my tongue
when the ungodly are around me.”
But as I stood there in silence—
not even speaking of good things—
the turmoil within me grew worse.
The more I thought about it,
the hotter I got,
igniting a fire of words:
“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.    –Psalm 39: 1-4

Friends, this is amazing to me, approximately three thousand years ago, “the man after God’s heart” struggled with holding his tongue, struggled with turmoil within and struggled with thinking, chewing, and dwelling on something so long that it ignited a fire of words.

This is very comforting to me.

I know– misery loves company…

I want to please the Lord, but I’m just so…ugh…human!

I do pretty well with the average people on the street, business associates, friends and acquaintances.  It’s the people I LOVE the most that get the worst of my tongue.  No, I’m not talking profanity; I’m talking about my opinion…

I can’t seem to NOT give it!

I’m trying to teach, train, help, and fix my family. My motive is love, but I’m sure it doesn’t always sound or feel like love!!!

I will say that I’ve gotten better over the years, but it is still a struggle for me.  The tongue has been one area the Holy Spirit has worked on me throughout my life.  I remember when I was a young mom, sitting in the nursery and “chatting” with other moms.  I would go home and feel convicted over gossiping.

At the young age of 22 the Lord pointed me to Philippians 4:8…

 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.        

I literally began asking myself after a phone or in-person conversation:

Was that true, was it honorable, right and pure, lovely, and admirable?

Most times I would have to repent, but I slowly began to learn what I was supposed to think and talk about.  Believe me I’m not perfect, but I’m a whole lot better than I used to be.

After reading verse 4 of David’s prayer I think I have a new question to ask when I’m tempted to try to fix my family.

Does this thing that bugs me have anything to do with eternity?”

If the answer is “No” with the help of the Lord I’m going to let it go!

I join King David in this prayer:

Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

Remind me that my days are numbered— 

how fleeting my life is.

In Jesus Name Amen!

What’s Your Tagline? –1 Chronicles 23:14

May 3, 2013 in 1 Chronicles, 2013 Journey, Commitment, Faith, leadership, My story, Parenting with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Chronicles 23:1 through 1 Chronicles 25:31

Wisegeek.com defines a tagline  as “a slogan (short, attention-getting phrase) which succinctly, memorably, and descriptively sums up a company or product.”

Taglineguru.com lists these as the top five taglines of all time:

  1. Got Milk  (1993)  ———————————–  Calif. Milk  Board
  2. Don’t leave home without it  (1975)————-  American Express
  3. Just do it  (1988) ———————————-  Nike
  4. Where’s the beef  (1984)————————–  Wendy’s
  5. You’re in good hands with Allstate  (1956)—–  Allstate Insurance

In today’s scripture reading I found Moses’ tagline:

As for Moses, the man of God, his sons were included with the tribe of Levi.   –1 Chronicles 23:14

Moses…the man of God

Think about it, when anyone said “the man of God” they would all say, “that’s Moses!”

When your family, friends, neighbors or coworkers describe you, what “tagline” do they use?  What’s the first thought that runs through their head about you?

When my son was a teenager and young adult he used a tagline when he tried to “explain” me to his friends.  I think he stills uses it.  I guess he wanted them to be on their best behavior when they were around me so that he would not get a lecture about his choice in friends.  Jeremy would say, “My Mom is real churchy.”  With that one word Jeremy hoped they would understand:

  • My Mom talks about God
  • There are Bibles on our coffee table
  • She doesn’t like profanity; matter of fact she thinks dumb, stupid and shut up are curse words
  • We say the blessing before we eat
  • She prays for me before I go to school–out loud!
  • She’ll probably pray for you too

While I really don’t want to be known as churchy; even though it has become a term of endearment when Jeremy says it… I would love to be described as “the woman of God” by my Heavenly Father and have something about me point others to Him.

Moses certainly didn’t start out as “the man of God.”  He was insecure, full of guilt and reluctant to step out, but God  coached him day-by-day until he became God’s man.

Coached by God?

Can we be coached by God to become His man or woman?

I believe we can, if we check in with Him on a regular basis through

  • reading and meditating on His Word
  • talking and listening to Him
  • obeying Him

I want to be that woman of God!  I’m going for it!  How about you?

Heavenly Father, I know I’m no Moses, but I am loved by You as much as Moses!  I want to be one of Your women of God.  Please teach me and coach me!  Use me for Your Glory!

In Jesus Name.  Amen and Amen!

You Just Think You’re In Control –Numbers 22:18

March 5, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Family, leadership, My story, Numbers, Parenting, Pride with 0 Comments


Today’s Scripture Reading: Numbers 22:1-24:25

But Balaam responded to Balak’s messengers, “Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord my God. –Numbers 22:18

I’m not sure where my desire to control came from.

It could be…

  • My personality?
  • My parents?
  • My environment?

I don’t remember being that controlling as a child.  It was probably because I was too busy being controlled.  Just ask anyone who knew my Dad and they’ll tell you that he definitely liked to control the future of his only girl.

For the most part I complied with his “rules,” while subconsciously planned my escape, thinking someday, “I will be in control.”

At the young age of eighteen I jumped out of the frying plan and into the fire–marriage.

Crazy huh?

I was constantly trying to control people and situations to protect my heart, I wanted a life free from pain and disappointment.

I can’t tell you how many times I said, “MY  _______________ (husband, children, life) will never do or be like THAT.

I’ve eaten those words many times over.

Too bad I didn’t know what Balaam knew, I am powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord my God.

Whether we admit it or not…

If we think we’re in control, we’re not allowing God to be in control.

Whether we admit it or not…

Trying to control people, situations, and things is trying to play god

That’s pretty much idol-worship.  Remember the children of Israel?

When the people saw how long it was taking Moses to come back down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron. “Come on,” they said, “make us some gods who can lead us. We don’t know what happened to this fellow Moses, who brought us here from the land of Egypt.” –Exodus 32:1

God wasn’t working on “their” timetable so they took matters into their own hands.  It was a bad idea then and it’s still a bad idea.

One of the things I’ve discovered, “The more life gets out of control the more we try to find something we can control.”  The smarter thing is to run to our Heavenly Father, crawl up in His lap and watch Him work.  He does all things well!  We serve an amazing God!

Yes, I still have a controlling nature, but thanks to my God I’m learning to give Jesus the steering wheel of my life and enjoy the ride!

Jesus, take the wheel! Amen and Amen!

Do You Have an Israelite Attitude? Numbers 14:1-4

March 3, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Choices, Failure, Finances, Jesus, My story, Numbers, Obedience, Tough Times with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  Numbers 14:1 through Numbers 15:41

After the Israelites heard the report from the twelve spies the whole community began weeping aloud, and they cried all night…Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt.” (14:1-4)

When I read today’s passage I thought, “How stupid can you get?”  My hindsight vision was a perfect 20/20 as I critiqued the Israelites’ many mistakes.  But what if I change the name, situation, and outcome and insert my story…

How many times have I heard a report and immediately began to cry, bawl, kick, and scream and THEN take matters into my own hands and craft a plan with my limited information?

…Too, too many times I’m sad to say.

The first mistake that comes to my mind is about 18 years ago, I felt the Lord speak to me to resign from my position as a Mary Kay Sales Director and wait on Him for the next step.  At first I was obedient but when a major life change came along I thought, “surely God doesn’t want me to resign NOW”, so I changed my mind and retained my status as a Senior Sales Director.  After two years of struggling in areas that had always been so easy, having no passion for my job, and getting myself into serious debt; I finally realized I had to resign.  Things would have worked a lot better if I had just listened to the God who parted the Red Sea!

Thanks to Moses’ intervention the Lord forgave the Israelites.  This is huge!  God was ready to disown and destroy them (14:12).  This is a picture of God’s forgiveness of our sins today…

Jesus is in heaven interceding to God on our behalf!  I love that!

Let’s face it, we mess up and need God’s forgiveness just like the Israelites.  And just like the Israelites there are consequences (not one of those people entered the Promised Land) to our disobedience.

Thankfully God forgave my disobedience just like He did the Israelites.

But just like the Israelites I had to deal with the consequences.

It took years for me to recover from that time both emotionally and financially, but I did recover.  I think too many times we ask and expect God to get us out of places we got ourselves into.  Sometimes He does but many times, especially in the area of finances we have to grow our way out of it!

Thank you Lord for your forgiveness!

Redemption, What A Dirty Job!

February 17, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Christian Living, Failure, Leviticus, My story, Sin with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  Leviticus 4:1 through Leviticus 6:30

One of the things about Leviticus that draws me closer to God is the provision He made for the redemption of sin. The attention to detail and the great lengths God went through to make sure there was a way of escape amazes me.  Yes, it was bloody and stinky, but there was a way out!

Try to imagine the reality of what we are reading.  It certainly gives new meaning to getting dirty at work.  Mike Rowe, from Dirty Jobs would have certainly made a show about the Levite Priests if he would have lived in those days.

When I think about everything the Levite Priests had to do, it makes me wonder if it was a blessing or a curse to be “chosen”to be a priest.

God always made a way of escape for sin.

When was the first time you realized you had sin in your life?

When did you become aware of your sin (Leviticus 4:23)?

I was in the fourth or fifth grade.  My Mom, brother and I attended Hiland Park Baptist Church is Panama City, Florida.  We faithfully attended Sunday school and church each week.  I can’t remember how many weeks I felt this way, but Sunday after Sunday I would feel the conviction of my sinfulness.  You may be thinking what kind of sin could a fifth grader have committed?  Oh, I’m sure I had done things I shouldn’t have, but this conviction was about the sinfulness (sinful nature) that I inherited from my great, great…grandparents Adam and Eve.

At ten years old I got it!

I knew I needed a Savior.

One Sunday I responded to the pastor’s invitation to invite Jesus into my heart to clean up my sinful nature.  No I didn’t have to bring an animal to be slaughtered for my sin. I just had to admit that I was a sinner and ask Jesus to forgive me!  Whew, I’m glad I’m a New Testament girl!

The Old Testament is a foreshadowing (the act of providing vague advance indications) of the New Testament.  The living-out of the Law that we are reading about helps us to realize our need of a Savior.  There is no way anyone could be perfect enough to keep all those rules and regulations. When Jesus came and died for us He became the ultimate sacrifice.  In verses 24-30 of chapter 6 we read about the holiness of the body and blood of the animal that was sacrificed.  Sounds like the body and blood of Christ that we remember in the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 10:16).

As we read the details of the rules, regulations, and sacrifices in Leviticus let’s thank God after every verse for sending His Son, Jesus to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins!

What Do You Do When You See a Need? Numbers 7:4-5

February 15, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Leviticus, My story, Numbers with 4 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:   Numbers 7:1-89

Okay, let’s just say it; Numbers and Leviticus are tough!

I can tell you from personal experience that this is where folks are tempted to quit.

Don’t!

I promise, there are amazing treasures hidden in these pages of lists.

Together we will get through this.

Here is the treasure I found today.  In Numbers 7:4-5 (my paraphrase), the Lord told Moses to take the gifts brought in by the Israelites and distribute them among the Levites (priests) according to the work they had to do.  The gifts mentioned here were physical materials to use in the Tabernacle but I think the gifts can also be our abilities, passions, calling.

Many times we see a job that needs to be done  and we emphatically say “that’s not my gift.”  This particular scripture makes me think that the gift (ability, passion, or calling) may not come until we begin to do the work.

I began taking piano lessons when I was in the fourth grade and took them for about six years.  I really didn’t apply myself, but I could read music and play hymns as long as I had the book in front of me.  In my junior year of high school I decided to try the organ. I took four or five organ lessons and said, “That’s not for me” and never thought about it again, until…

As a newly married adult I attending a new church.  At a business meeting we heard some exciting news, “we’re getting an organ!”  We were so excited, it added so much to our services but after a couple of months the organist moved away.  My friend, the pianist knew I had taken a few organ lessons so I was asked to be the church organist.

Was I afraid?

Definitely!

But here’s what I had going for me:

  • I could “sort of” play the  piano
  • I knew what the organ pedals, pulls, and keys were from my lessons
  • I was willing to give it a try because there was no one else to do it

In the beginning I turned the volume down real low and pretended to play, but as time passed I got better.

Did I ever become a great organist?

No, but I was on that organ bench three times a week for 17 years and as my skills improved I occasionally played for weddings and funerals.  It was certainly a long way from where I started!

I truly believe the Holy Spirit made my music sound better than it really was! God used me to meet a need!

I know we can’t do EVERYTHING, but when we see a need we should earnestly ask God if we are the person He would like to meet the need. There is no greater joy than being used by the Almighty God to meet a need for someone!

Step out in His Name today!

Believing in You and God’s Plan for Your Life!

The Fall of the Hurdle-Jumper–Job 17:11

January 23, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Depression, Divorce, Failure, Job, My story, Spiritual Disciplines, Tough Times, Trials, Trust with 2 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading: Job 15:1-18:21

My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken. –Job 17:11

I can’t imagine the depth of despair Job felt when he spoke these words.  It’s easy to read Job’s story and move through his losses as if it’s some Hollywood movie.

Friends, this really happened.

Stop for a minute and put  yourself in Job’s shoes.

What would you have done?

What if…

  • All your children were dead
  • All of your servants were dead
  • All of your animals were dead
  • All of your food was gone
  • All of your property was destroyed

Most of my life I naïvely thought seasons of depression, despair, and hopelessness could be avoided by Christian disciplines (prayer, Bible study, worship) and continual attitude adjustments. (Sounds like Job’s friends. Huh?)

Until…

Everything came crashing down.  I called it the fall of the hurdle-jumper.

As long is there’s enough space between the hurdles to recover, a hurdle jumper can go long distances, but let someone come and place all the hurdles side by side and even the best hurdle jumper will come crashing down.

That’s what happened to me.

In just about every area of my life I experienced a major loss: marriage, home, church, career, car, a great friend, and my Dad–all in a matter of a couple of years.

I said with Job, My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken. –Job 17:11

This strong “hurdle-jumper” came tumbling to the ground and my misconceptions about depression fell as well. I needed a healing of this mental cancer that had zapped the life and joy out of me.  “I” couldn’t fix me.

That was seventeen years ago.  Through the grace of God, His healing power, and a good medical doctor I made it through that dark time. I’m so thankful for the lessons I learned.  I didn’t realize it at the time but at my lowest God was the closest. As I look back I see those as special times.

Today I vividly understand the power that hope plays in our lives. God is the giver of hope and just like Job we can be sitting in a pile of rubble scraping our wounds, thinking hope is gone forever, while our Heavenly Father is continually saying “Don’t loose hope.  Some things just take a little time.  You’ll understand when You see me face to face. For now just keep your hope in Me!”

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. –Psalm 39:7

Heavenly Father, we need Your hope today.  I pray for my friends who feel the way I did years ago, hopeless and depressed.  Touch them through your supernatural power and send the gift of hope their way.

Jesus, remind us of the needs of the hurting.  Show us who we need to call, write, or visit.  Use us as delivery agents of hope today.

In Your Name we pray.  Amen and Amen!

Surely God Will Come to Help You–Genesis 50:24

January 18, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Believing God in the Hard Times, Failure, Faith, Fear, Genesis, My story, The Hurting World, The Promises of God, Trust, Uncategorized, Word of God with 1 Comment

Today’s Scriptures:  Genesis 47:28  through  Genesis 50:26

Before I read today’s scriptures, I “thought” I knew what I was going to write about.  You see Genesis 50:10 is one of my top five favorite scriptures…

But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me.  Am I God, that I can punish you?  You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. –Genesis 50:20

The last sentence of this verse has helped me to make sense out of things that haven’t made sense in my life.  It has also helped me to understand some of the crazy stuff we’ve been reading in the book of Genesis.  We’ve seen of so much evil and deceit, but now as we come to our last verses of the book, Joseph ties a bow on it all and shares his God-given wisdom on “why bad things happen to good people”.  Personally, I could not have made it through my life without this verse.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen God use things that were meant to hurt me for my good!  I would not be writing this blog today if it weren’t for the painful times in my life.  Thank you Lord for putting this sentence in you Word!

But, today I found another jewel!  It’s like the sequel to Genesis 50:20…how did I miss this all these years?

Right before Joseph died he was talking with his brothers.  He said to them in Genesis 50: 24:

…soon I will die, but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt.

Then in verse 25 of that same chapter, Joseph actually made his brothers swear an oath

… and he said, “When God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones with you.”

Joseph knew that he knew that as sure as God had precisely-down-to-the-last-detail arranged to use his thirteen years as a slave to rescue the Israelite nation God would, absolutely, positively rescue them from Egypt and return them to their promised land.  There was not one doubt in Joseph’s mind; it was so real that made his brothers promise to take his bones with them so he didn’t miss the trip!

As I look back on my life (here comes that 20/20 hindsight), I am so thankful that I had some serious trials very early and that through God’s grace, I ran to Him in my pain.  Because now, in my 50’s I can say with Joseph, surely God will come to help you and lead you back.

I know that I know, just like Joseph, that He will make a way to take the evil, sadness, and pain that has been done to you, by you, or through you and use it for your good AND GOD’S GLORY!  If he did it for Joseph and he did it for me; he will do it for you!

Praying for you!

Tomorrow’s Scriptures:   Job 1:1 through Job 4:21

Thank You Noah! –Genesis 6-8

January 3, 2013 in 2013 Journey, Believing God in the Hard Times, Encouragement, Genesis, My story with 5 Comments

Today’s Reading: Gen 7:1-10:5, 1 Chron 1:5-7, Gen 10:6-20, 1 Chron 1:8-16, Gen 10:21-30, 1 Chron 1:17-23, Gen 10:31-32

I would like to publicly thank Noah and his family for saving the human race!  They made a huge sacrifice for us!  I don’t think I could have done it! I probably would have jumped overboard after a week!

I just don’t think I could have survived!  From my calculations (don’t quote me because I’m not very good at math), Noah and his family were on that boat for twelve and a half months.  Twelve and a half months with…

  • No baths (I couldn’t make it one week without a bath)
  • All those animals (poop, urine, slobber…can I say stink!!)
  • Reptiles (frogs, lizards, and snakes) I would have had a heart attack
  • No privacy (just think about it.  There were young, hormonal men on that boat)
  • He said, she said/meow-meow (can you imagine how they must’ve gotten on each other’s nerves)
  • (SAD)Seasonal Affective Disorder (12.5 months with no sunlight and no Prozac—the animals were probably as depressed as the people)

Can you imagine how they must have felt the day they walked off that boat?

Most of us would have probably kissed the ground, but not Noah; he immediately built an altar to his Lord.  God was pleased with Noah’s offering and made a promise that is still in effect today:

“I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood.  I will never again destroy all living things.  As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.” –Gen.8:21-22

The next time you see a rainbow, take a minute to remember the covenant that your Heavenly Father made with Noah and you. Because of the rainbow neither Noah nor anyone since has had to worry that God is going to destroy the earth with water.

Can you imagine the first time it rained after Noah and his family got off the ark?

They probably thought, “Where’s the boat?  Here we go again.” Our all-knowing God knew they would be afraid, so He gave them a sign-a rainbow.  That’s just amazing!

I remember a time about 15 years ago when I was going through a difficult time financially.  I was literally wondering what I was going to do and if God had forgotten me.  One Saturday there was a knock on the door and a friend from my church began to unload $200 worth of groceries.  I had said nothing to anyone about our need.  For me that was a sign from God that He was with me, He knew everything that was going and that with His help,I could make it through.  It was also a sign to my children that God cared about us.  I will never forget that day.

Has there ever been a time when God knew you would be afraid so he gave you a sign so that you could make it through?

Praying for you!
