By all indications the United States will soon move into another recession. In the last recession, many of the companies, that business consultant Jim Collins had profiled in his international bestselling book “Good to Great”, fell. Even the ‘mightiest’ of companies can fall.
In his most recent book, “How the Mighty Fall”, Collins examines the path towards doom. The first stage of the process begins with ‘hubris born of success’. As with Saul in 1 Samuel 15, it is pride and arrogance (vv.23) that begins the process by which the mighty fall. Saul started well but did not finish well.
It is more important to finish well than to start well. In the New Testament, Saul (of Tarsus) started off very badly (as a persecutor of Jesus) but he finished well (as the great apostle, Paul).
Regardless of how yesterday, last week, or even last year turned out. God has given you a new day today. Ask The Holy Spirit to empower you, embrace the day and finish strong…
